Wouter,

I noticed that your bios version is 1.11. Would you be able to get a bios upgrade?

This is the one for your X60:

(bootable cd upgrade)

Follow the instructions, and don't forget to keep ac plugged in during upgrade :-D
I also suggest documenting all of your bios settings before updating. Then after updating your bois, to go into the bios settings and reset to the default bios settings. save bios settings and restart. Then after restart, go back into the bios and setup your original preferences.

My bios for my x61 is the current bios (1.24 for x61, current for x60 is 1.15), and I still have this problem.
I have been told that updating the bios fixes this issue for some models. But I don't have any solid proof on that yet.

If you still have an issue after updating your bios, then your issue may get folded up into this bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2952501&group_id=69596&atid=525124

The patch associated with this bug is one possible fix, but may not be the recommended path.

The other fix is in Peter Hutterer's devel branch: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~whot/xf86-input-wacom/commit/?h=devel&id=509a81cdb9cbff56a1e4d095b57b5817029ac559

Although this fix seems to be a partial fix, because it was originally just a code cleanup. For instance, after running with the second fix, I still see some jitter when I draw fast with the stylus. But I don't see lines going to the maxX/maxY (bottom right).

Timo says we're in feature freeze, but hopefully after the freeze lifts we can get a version bump.
