Also, note that there is a ubuntu-x@ mailing list specifically for X issues that would be more effective to bring up X issues on. > Regarding the wacom enabled/disabled by default issues, by googling > better, I found the culprit: > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wacom-tools/+bug/42553 No. That bug was mostly cosmetic IMHO, aside from the .xsession-errors file growth in Kubuntu. Note there were dozens of other similar bug reports that derived from this issue. In fact, a lot of users confused the wacom errors in their Xorg logs for the cause of their (unrelated) X problems. The bug that actually motivated this change was #83860 from Henrik Omma. I talked with him at length about the pros/cons of this change, but given that the "fix" for tablets was an ugly hack, and that it was only needed for a small subset of tablet users anyway (who could still uncomment the entries in xorg.conf to enable it), and that it resulted in a completely unusuable Ubuntu for users needing accessible login, we decided it was better to go with the current approach. In theory, input-hotplug would have been available for Hardy, but that turned out to be less mature than expected. > and then Bryce himself *disabled* wacom setup *without* using his own > patch to conditionally re-enable the setup in xorg whenever > /dev/input/wacom exists.

Not sure how you missed it, but I was quite explicit in the bug you reference in stating why my patch was not viable: "However, as others point out in this and other wacom threads, this [patch] obviously would break things for wacom users who did not have their wacom attached when they [install] the system..." So your patch and mine would just "accidentally" work, if the user happened to have the tablet attached during installation.
