I'm using a USB PenPartner and having some trouble with the pointer freezin=
g before it reaches the edge of the screen. If I use my regular mouse to=
continue moving the pointer, I can "teach" the stylus the boundaries of =
my screen, but unfortunately it soon forgets them, forcing me to start us=
ing my mouse again :)

My set up is 2.4.5 kernel + XFree 4.0.3. I'm using the HID driver since ke=
rnel documentation claims the PenPartner is a true HID device and hence s=
hould use the HID (unlike Intuos and Graphire, which need the wacom kerne=
l module). I then use the mousedev module to create a PS/2 interface to =
talk to the standard mouse driver under XFree. I compiled the mousedev d=
river with the screen resolution option set to match the size of my 1600x=
1200 display.

Has anyone else had this problem too? Any suggestions for how to fix this =
problem or where to look in the source code for possible trouble are welc=
ome, since I've exasperated myself at this point trying to get this table=
t working well enough to do a little drawing ... and the wacom mailing li=
st for the linux driver has not been of much help since most of the peopl=
e there are trying to configure the (newer) Graphire and Intuos models.

Many thanks in advance. If you want to CC: me on any replies, please bewar=
e the <REMOVE_SPAM_BLOCK> in my reply email address.
