Yes. I upgrade today my debian sid and the problem still remains ...

I've tried the 'hyperpen' driver (xserver-xorg-input-hyperpen package). 
The behavior of the tablet is comparable with a mouse.
The stylet cannot reach all the screen.
I did not find any documentation to configure the tablet (xorg options).
And it is not recognized with "The GIMP".
This is what i get in Xorg.0.log :

...

The 7 last lines repeat many times.
Thank you.
