Comment 25 for bug 234466

Nice to know, I've not updated to 8.10 yet because I wanted the LTS option of 8.04 and sort of felt it would be a waste of time since the updated driver did not seem to make any difference.

Some notes on the ttyS0 hack:
* Embarrassingly confused the -x with the -e option in my echo statement. Was intending to send control codes, but guess not. The -x may be omitted.
* The hack does not really ~fix~ the problem, what it does seem to do is slows the pen movement speed down to a point where it is no longer erratic. The side effect is that the pen does not track at full speed meaning things such at handwriting are difficult but it is 'usable' for some applications like simple graphics editing.

Tried googling for some type of whitepaper on the wacom interface but found nothing of relevance. If could find more technical information might be able to sort this insanely annoying++ problem. Examined the source code and tried sending a few of the obvious initialization strings to ttyS0 but nothing helped. u_u
