Hi everyone,

Today I've started implementing a driver for Waltop Sirius Battery Free
tablet. As it turns out, it reports pen tilting, which is a rare thing for
non-Wacom tablets!

Could someone please explain what ABS_TILT_X and ABS_TILT_Y event values are
supposed to mean? What are the units and ranges?

Also, what the X applications are expecting as tilting valuator values?

My expectation was that the values match the HID usage tables spec
description of "X Tilt" and "Y Tilt" usages (see 16.3.2 Tilt Orientation).
I.e. positive/negative fractions of the X/Y arcs, which probably cover 90
degrees both ways, since nobody is looking at the resolution. Interestingly
enough, the spec says positive inclination is bottom right corner, but the
tablet assumes top right.

However, after reading xf86-input-wacom sources I got somewhat confused.

Could someone clarify this?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Nick
