Ok, strange... You're the second person to tell me this. As the driver doesn't 
actually do anything with the data it receives from the wacom-driver (except 
some scaling on X, Y, pressure, and distance) I don't think this is the 
problem.

There are two things I can think of at the moment. First, how the driver 
present itself to X. I didn't include some of the capabilities for intous, 
graphire, and cintiq. Maybe this confuses the driver in X. Driver updated with 
these capabilities added, see http://195.38.3.2/linuxprojs/

Second; (and here I think I need some dmesg-logs) The ioctl-function is far 
from finished.. It's more a skeleton at the moment, but it prints the 
operation into the kernel-log. So if I knew which was called I could 
implement the used ones first.

Thank you for your time & testing!

Btw. Is this beginning to get o-t? Should I move it to -devel instead?
