Fwd: Unstable pointing?

Hi,

Hope I've got the right place - here goes.....

I've just installed opie on my iPaq 2210, and when I'm using the pen, the
recognition seems to keep having glitches. For example, when writing in
sketch book, I can write a word at the bottom of the screen, and then at the
end, when I take the pen off the screen, it gets a 'false reading' of pen
position at the top of the screen - which would suddenly put a line up to
the whole screen. This makes handwriting recognition effectively unusable
because it keeps getting false readings....?

I know the device isn't faulty because it works fine under windows - my
guess is that windows is performing some form of dampening, e.g. if the
pointer moves 'impossibly' far from one clock tick to the next while
writing, then ignore the input....

I've read that opie doesn't use X, and so presumably this is something that
needs to be written to the opie list directly.....

I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem...?

Many thanks in advance...

Carl Beech.
