It has been a very long time since I looked at the code. I think the right way to proceed is to add some EVENT types to wsconsio.h and then add a handler, say wsmouse_pen_input (similar to wsmouse_precision_scroll), for distance, pressure and tilt. Then we can adjust the uintuos driver and your driver to instead call wsmouse_pen_input. Finally, the X11 patch which I attached will have to be adjusted accordingly. I think this will allow existing code to continue working as before and X11 will also do the right thing. What do you think? -- Kind regards, Yorick Hardy
