Well, I intended to "fix" them, actually. The thing is, the existing range
wacom drivers use is not straightforward and contradicts HID specification.

I was hoping to make a patch for the kernel drivers, so, after a while (at
your discretion), this centering could be dropped.

Judging from the code, it seems wacom kernel drivers send meaningful min/max
values already. However, I was hoping some of linuxwacom developers could
verify this.

Resolving kernel first creates a window where the X driver won't work.

Can you point me to one, so I could ask directly?

Thanks!
