Bug Description
When using a wacom sensor (ThinkPad Yoga with stylus), Mir works fine but there's a potential problem with the difference between how it works in X vs Mir.
In X, the mouse cursor follows the stylus when it's close to the tablet. This is not so useful on a touchscreen but on a separate tablet would be a critical feature. In Mir, hovering the stylus close to the tablet never moves the mouse cursor.
I'm not suggesting we should use the mouse arrow cursor like X, but at least provide some secondary cursor (crosshair?) to show on screen where the stylus is about to touch.
