I don't know how to write kernel drivers. My goal was to just get the hyperpen 
driver to work.

Thanks. I'll wait until you push your changes. Then I pull those changes and 
apply my segfault fix. As soon as my segfault fix works with your latest 
changes, I'll publish it to the mailing list.

Most probably this would be my last contribution for the hyperpen driver, as my 
device failed again. Something is broken with the pen. I could order a new pen 
for about 7 EUR plus shipping, but I bought a new WACOM tablet on EBay, so I 
don't think I'll fix my old serial tablet.

Yours

Manuel
