it occurred to me that I saw no obvious way to configure the tablet, so
the only operating mode is to have the small, approximately A5-sized
sensitive area represent the whole screen. Which makes using the tablet
sort of difficult if you have a large screen resolution because the
cursor jumps at every small move. It's sort of like a mouse with high
accelleration.

So while it technically works, I'm a bit doubtful about the usefulness
of it - but then, I have no expectations.


Kind regards,
