evtest output for the mouse device on kernel 2.6.31.6-150.fc12.x86_64, 
I'll spare you the keyboard device, it's not particularly interesting.

[root@...chie sbin]# ./nwtool -u -i
Version:		2.99
Serial:			617241
Model:			1901
HW capabilities:	0x40
Rightclick delay:	1000 ms
Doubleclick time:	200 ms
Report mode:		4
Drag threshold:		500
Buzzer time:		40 ms
Buzzer tone:		40
Calibration key:	4
Calibration presses:	3

looks like we do have a different reporting mode. Setting mode to 1 with 
nwtool yields the same information that you provided in your last email. 
After booting into Vista and resetting the screen to factory defaults, 
the reporting mode is still 4.

Ask louder :) I think I remember your email but it got flooded out of my 
inbox. In general there should be some method to do that though I need 
to check the implementation.
