Stylus acts like eraser if tilted #2

I found your package on AUR. It doesn't seem to help with the issues I'm experiencing. But I'm hoping you might be able to provide a fix. On my Surface Go if I tilt the pen to far to the side while writing it switches to an eraser even though the pen side is still against the screen.

I'm making use of @jakeday's kernel.

Also related possiblity to a entirely different tablet I own. https://github.com/linuxwacom/libwacom/issues/70

I doubt there's anything I can do here. Libwacom only provides basic information related to the tablet, such as which devices are tablets, the number of buttons, and other features. This seems more driver-related. Let's continue this in Jake's repo.
