PC Tablet pen sloppy control


Hello,

I am trying to set up a Tablet PC and not sure what to do about the pen? I am really unfamiliar with how the pen should work. I just don't like the way it is working now.

I have read many post and not not found what I am looking for. The pen seems to work fine but the pen and the cursor are not traveling together. I want the cursor to follow the pen more closly.
Question: Shouldn't the cursor follow the pen tightly not all far and close?
Can I set up the pen so the pen "is the cursor" like with out haveing to bring the cursor and the pen togethor and herding the cursor to where I want to point and select?
Maybe I don't understand how it is supposed to work? It just seems really loosy goosy.

Here is my xorg.file:
