Far out! Zero is o.k. So if I ask for zero, I'll get it. It is then
linear, but with a to high gain. So I'll get allready 10 V when I
request for 7 V. It goes a bit further up and stay then at about 13 V.
In the negative range it is the same. So it looks something like:

	       ___  13V
	      /
	     /
	    /
-13V	___/
     -10     0    10V

Hope it helps! I'll try to check the source code of the driver,
perhaps I can figure something out. But I'm not sure whether I am able
to....
Thanks a lot!
