    Hi,

    After using the X220t in Tablet mode and turning in the Ultradock again, the stylus/cursor position is totally messed up/distored and it is not possible to use it any more: Say, when I put the stylus at position (0,0) it is visible at (-300,-100) for example.

    The same thing also happens when I take out the device of the dock and want it to use in tablet mode. That's really terrible :(

    I tried anything: Changing screen profiles, display rotation, changing settings of the Tablet. The one thing which helps is reboot which is actually no solution at all :(

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    I presume you have the latest driver already?

    Ok, difficult story.

    First of all, I tried for days to download the driver but Lenovo's homepage is just crap ... connection always aborted and due to the Ajax architecture of the site it was not even possible to to continue...

    So then I downloaded the latest (Wacom) driver from the Wacom homepage. But the stylus accuracy decreased even more! It's horrible! (Is that normal?)

    In the meantime I managed to download the updated driver from the Lenovo homepage (which seems to be the same Wacom driver but still a much lower version than the latest from the Wacom homepage). However, after installing, I got the error "No tablet or touch found on this system" (or similar). The same happened when I wanted to revert to the original (old) driver. (also after multiple times uninstall, reboot, install, ...).

    So in the end, I sticked with the newest Wacom driver. So far, the stylus messup problem seems to be solved (I really do hope so, at least until now, the problem did not happen again). However, the stylus accuracy is a pain!
    Is that probable or may it just be subjective?

    But the cursor is now about (0.5/1cm) away from the stylus position in the left-bottom edge and similar is true for the others (and parts of the screen).

    Now I ended up with "predistorion" in calibration: I need to tap not exactly at the x-position in the calibration tool so it subjectively gets a little bit better.

    But the stylus accuracy is still 10x worse than on my 10-years old Fujitsu Siemens ST5021. I'm really angry about that ... :(
