 Replying to [comment:6 bert]:

 > There have been proposals for that. E.g. in the thread at
 http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2007-March/004302.html which would
 combine undistorted absolute positioning with full screen coverage.

 I've just read it.  If I understand correctly, every time we switch to PT
 mode, we compute:

   initial_offset = pt_position - cursor_position

 And then, on each event we move the cursor like so:

   cursor_position = pt_position - initial_offset

 I would agree this will make the tabled a lot more usable, with no sudden
 bounces.

 One problem is that we don't want this logic to kick in also when one
 raises the stylus for a short time, to move to the next letter or word.


 > Btw, do we even get up/dow events for the stylus now?

 I'm afraid not.
