I thought xorg.conf might need configuring but have not had time to
search what to do yet.

No, just the pen with 2 replacement tips. Do these wear out?

Under XP after installing the driver PhotoElements responds to more
pressure by drawing a wider line.

What I do find confusing is picking up the mouse pointer in the same
place after lifting the pen out of range of the tablet area. The
aspect ratio of the tablet and my 1280x800 laptop screen is roughly
the same. The pen will move the pointer nearly the whole width if I
start in the right place but it is easy to get only half screen
movement.
