I just got around to trying this now. I grabbed a kernel from the
master branch built on 20080123, and the PenTablet works, but it still
controls the core pointer in relative mode. If the coordinates are
ABS, what kind of behaviour should I be seeing? And any idea where I
could poke around to see what the problem is?
