Mixed "pen" and multitouch input devices

Hi,
we are working on already existing multitouch driver for a Promethean
ActivBoard, which supports both multiple fingers and pens. The pens
behave Wacom-like, i.e. the device actually can tell a cursor position
without a button action.
Because of the (up to 4) fingers, we use the input_mt_* functions. Is it
possible to just update the cursor position without a button action? (As
it is can be done with plain input_* functions?) Or do we have to create
two input devices? (one with multitouch input_mt_* and one for the pens?)
Information about our context: We took the partial working and GPL
licensed driver code out of /usr/src/ of [3] and enabled the multitouch
parts of it.
