OK, thanks for the feedback.

Do you mean here that the behaviour is satisfactorily smooth, not
erratic the way it was with the aiptek driver? That's progress then :)

The hyperpen options appear [1] to be:
Device
DebugLevel
Mode
Cursor
XSize
YSize
PMin
PMax
XOffset
YOffset
InvX
InvY
BaudRate
Except for PMin and PMax, it's probably safe to assume the other
options are the same as for the aiptek driver, which you can check with
the aiptek man page.
PMin is the pressure threshold, PMax is maximum pressure read from
tablet, so they probably don't explain why you don't reach the whole
screen. Unfortunately I do not know what the correct values must be.
Maybe the default values are OK? Debug level 6 will give more log data
about it.
Perhaps adjusting XSize,YSize and/or XOffset,YOffset, setting the
dimensions of the active area, will give you the whole screen? You
might be able to debug it by setting debug level 2 and looking for
"reading max coordinates".
If you feel like experimenting in a different direction, you could see
if the evdev driver in mouse mode provides any access to the device.
I'm not saying it will help, it's just another idea to play with.
