When using the stylus on my Thinkpad X60 tablet (serial wacom tablet) in xournal, it is not possible to draw anything. There seem to be spurious events in the bottom right corner of the screen (resulting in straight lines, I will attach a xournal screen shot). Using the stylus for navigation on the desktop seems to work fine (although I am not sure the spurious events would show up).
Expected result:
Stylus should draw smooth lines in xournal.
Actual result:
The lines drawn by the stylus are interrupted by straight lines to the corner of the screen.
Touch events are associated with the following warnings in Xorg.0.log:
(WW) wcmSerialValidate: bad magic at 1 v=91 l=9
(WW) wcmSerialValidate: bad magic at 5 v=91 l=9
(WW) wcmSerialValidate: bad magic at 1 v=91 l=5
Stylus events are associated with the following warnings in Xorg.0.log (more warnings for same 'amount' of activity):
(WW) wcmSerialValidate: bad magic at 4 v=a1 l=5

I should have made clearer that the warnings with the stylus only show up when there is actual contact with the screen. Just moving the pointer by keeping the stylus a millimeter away from the screen works as expected and without warnings, but as soon as I try to select (or draw in xournal) there are those warnings.
