I haven't installed yet, but I got the feeling it is something you have to
enter yourself.

That is easy to cure. You reverse direction by putting a minus sign (-) in
front of the entry for INPUT_SCALE as follows:
The following moves one way:
INPUT_SCALE = 4000 0
The following gives you movement in the opposite direction:
INPUT_SCALE = -4000 0

You sometimes have to play with this parameter also:
JOGGING_POLARITY = 1
It reverses which way the axis moves during a jog. So, if your axis is
indicating a positive move and your table is really going negative you need
to change the INPUT_SCALE sign. But, if the numbers are moving the right way
for the table and the jogs seem backwards you need to change the
JOGGING_POLARITY to the opposite of what you have either 1 or 0

I have it on a AMD K6 2D 450 now and was on a 350 previously. Can't say I am
noticing what you mention.
