What do you think of the following?: xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-9) unstable; urgency=high [...] Changes by Fabio M. Di Nitto: * Update wacom input driver from http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ up to version 0.6.4: + Remove now obsolete patch 036_wacom_usb_tablet_update.diff + Add patch 000_stolen_from_sourceforge_wacom_driver.diff + Fix input timeout problems if the device is not connected. No references are available in upstream changelog, but tests do not show this behavior anymore. (Closes: #231837) + Fix compatibility with kernel 2.6 wacom driver. (Closes: #250331) + Add support for Cintiq boards. According to #172526 logs the patch has been included, reworked and cleaned by upstream a long time ago. No references are available in upstream changelog. (Closes: #172526) + A combination of new kernel, xfree86 and wacom driver appears to have fixed the APM resume issue as described in #80140. Tests done on a powerpc laptop do not show this problem anymore. No references are available in upstream changelog. (Closes: #80140) [...] -- Fabio M.

The procedure is basically to submit patches to this mailing list (preferably as part of a bug report so it's easier to keep track of them) that apply cleanly to the XFree86 Subversion repository.
