Thanks, that should also be easier for me :-)
One thing I need is to be able to set calibration parameters without
restarting X. I get the impression that I should be using 'Device
Properties' for this. Since these are quite new I guess they are still
undocumented, but is there a place where they are used, such that I
can read the code?

I'll do my best to provide some then :-) But as you can see from my
mails, this is new territory for me...
