In Ubuntu 9.04 the "GeniusMousePen-Driver_0.7.0.i386" was working just fine with my Genius M712 Tablet,  pressure & full dual screen area. when upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 & even when Installing it as a fresh install (I tried them both) the tablet response to the pen is totally missed up.. The cursor moves when the pen is in proximity to the tablet as it should but once the pen is pressed against the tablet the proximity movement is gone & the only way to move the cursor is to keep the pressure on the tablet while moving which clearly renders the tablet useless, the buttons are gone & clicking by tabbing the tablet with the pen is not working & as a last note the screen area for the tablet is less than full screen.
My "99-x11-wizardpen.fdi" content which was working perfectly good on ubuntu 9.04 is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!-- This MUST match with the name of your tablet -->
<match key="info.product" contains="WALTOP International Corp. Media Tablet">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wizardpen</merge>
<merge key=”info.product” type=”string”>stylus</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TopX" type="string">5619</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TopY" type="string">6554</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.BottomX" type="string">29405</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.BottomY" type="string">29671</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxX" type="string">29405</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxY" type="string">29671</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

I did also try the "wizardpen_0.7.0-alpha2_i386" with no use.
reinstalling back ubuntu 9.04 with the 0.7.0 driver & the previous  "99-x11-wizardpen.fdi" file made the tablet work just fine once more... I couldn't find the site for the development of the drive to post a bug report there too but will try to look for it again & if I found it I'll post this report there too.
