(No effect in Calibration mode)
Move viewport(Upper Left point) of calibrated penmount input area.
This setting has lower priority than Option UMinX, UMinY, UMaxX,
UMaxY.
In the example above, if our calibrated penmount input area
is 1024x768 in default screen with viewport (0, 0),
it will move viewport(Upper Left of 1024x768) to (512,384) and with
the same screen size(1024x768) as calibrated.
Warning: in this setting, some parts of penmount input area may be
outside of screens!

Resize Calibrated penmount input area to specified Upper Left and
Lower Right points.
This setting has higher priority than Option MoveX and MoveY.
In the example above, if our original calibrated penmount input area
is 1024x768 in default screen with viewport (0, 0),
it will move viewport(Upper Left of penmount input area) to (192, 144)
and with different screen size (640x480) from calibrated input area.
For X: 192 + 640 = 832 and for Y: 144 + 480 = 624

Application Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Enable pc speaker in kernel
The PenMount touch beep function depends on the pcspkr module.
In Ubuntu 10.04, this module is not loaded by default, so there won't be any beep sound.
To enable touch beep sound, modify /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and remark the following line :
blacklist pcspkr
