Maybe, but I'm no X.org driver expert. I'm happy that I managed to get
this driver to work again without crashing all the time ;-)
For me, it seems like two input sections in xorg.conf result in two
instances of the driver, right? If so, then this would be pretty bad for
the hyperpen tablet, as it is a serial device. The driver directly
communicates to the serial port. There is no global instance (kernel
module, ...) where multiple driver instances can connect to.
I think hardcoded mode is a useful feature, but I'm still unsure how the
right option name would be. The "Aiptek" driver also has both (Cursor
and Mode), but I think they support two "input sections" in xorg.conf,
which can't work with the hyperpen driver.
Yours
Manuel
