This bug seems similar to one I am now encountering after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. While using Xournal, the stylus will start to write while the stylus is not touching the screen. I am also getting the behavior described above. While using 10.04, I did not have this problem. The sylus would sometimes lock up, but I could fix this by causing the laptop to sleep, then awaken. That trick does not work for me with 10.10. I need to reboot X or reboot entirely.
I cannot reliably reproduce the behavior, but it happens often after I use a projector (changing resolution), then having the laptop sleep. Sometime after awakening again, I often (daily) get this behavior. I am using a X200t., Linux 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
