Switching X back from VT slow for serial tablets

[Tom Jaeger]

Switching back from the console or (more commonly) resuming from suspend incurs a 5-second wait if there's a serial wacom device. The following messages appear in Xorg.0.log:

(WW) Serial Wacom Tablet: Waited too long for answer (failed after 3 tries).
(WW) Serial Wacom Tablet: Waited too long for answer (failed after 3 tries).
(II) Serial Wacom Tablet: serial tablet id 0x90.
(--) Serial Wacom Tablet: Wacom General ISDV4 tablet speed=38400 maxX=24576 maxY=18432 maxZ=127 resX=2540 resY=2540 tilt=disabled
(--) Serial Wacom Tablet: top X=0 top Y=0 bottom X=24576 bottom Y=18432 resol X=2540 resol Y=2540
(--) Serial Wacom Tablet eraser: top X=0 top Y=0 bottom X=24576 bottom Y=18432 resol X=2540 resol Y=2540

See the debian bug report (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=568608) for details.

Confirmed here. Also, the server start takes much longer when the stylus is close to the screen, probably related.

This issue is specific to the new xf86-input-wacom driver, so it was
only ever an issue on lucid, and it still is. I don't know of any fix,
though.
