The "cursor" option for xorg.conf is available, but gets resettet immediately by the "auto cursor detection" in "xf86HypReadInput". My patch will disable this "auto detection" as soon as the "cursor" option is set in xorg.conf. This way, the setting in xorg.conf gets respected by the driver. I also did minor cleanup (removed the "stylus" variable from global scope). In future I may publish more patches, but this one has to be accepted first, as I forcefully need this. My tablet seems to have a minor hardware defect, which makes the auto detection fail (driver detects my stylus as mouse and as soon as I touch the panel, the stylus gets detected and driver switches to absolute, which makes the cursor jump).
