Nope, it's a reply. However, it's usually considered a good idea to
include some context from previous messages when you post to an existing
thread.

Highly doubtful. I think the problem is in the X config file... read on
for details.

There are 2 ServerLayout sections. Why? I've changed the first one so
it's correct. Change your first ServerLayout section to match it, then
comment out the second ServerLayout, then restart X.

Add the 2 lines

    Option "Mode" "absolute"
    Option "AlwaysCore" "on"

...to the pen1 and eraser1 sections.

This should use Option "Mode" "relative" , and it also needs the
AlwaysCore option. HTH,
