Probably both positionings work, if yours works. I stuck mine according to the instructions on the page from where I copied it.
OK, I understand now, just your previous post sounded like the other positioning is wrong, so I got worried

Well, I actually prefer searching google first and posting questions in forums only if the search did not reveal anything useful, but nevermind

The port still has problems though - that was just the second hurdle. It segfaults on the 770 where it doesn't in scratchbox, and there are some user interface issues - the click of the stylus causes a click in the last position the mouse pointer was, and some things expect a right mouse click.
The segfault is most likely caused by a similar alignment issue. You can try adding lots of guard assert checks to the code verifying pointers alignment and structure packing somewhere near the code that fails.

Anyway, congratulations on your progress so far, now you should be able to eventually hunt down all these bugs. I know that as I was stuck with a similar problem and spent some time figuring out these arm architecture specific tips and tricks. By the way, probably it would be a good idea to make a page at maemo wiki with x86 -> arm porting guide as some people may have the same difficulties but are too shy to ask for help in the forum
