Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

Just a few days after GOK has finally been fixed to deal with our wacom tablet setup, it now turns out that it also breaks the accessible login.

If you go to the login screen setup window, select accessible login log out, GDM breaks. Removing the wacom entries in xorg.conf makes it work again.

See: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-accessibility/2007-February/001764.html

Confirmed in the upstream bugzilla (but found to be ubuntu specific). We are having trouble getting a backtrace. Can apport help here?

Bryce, assigning to you. We agreed we could fix this by removing the static wacom entries I believe.

Worked around with a previous xorg upload, but given that the upstream bug is still open it's still presumably an issue.

I can no longer reproduce this in intrepid. I'm closing the bug and notifying upstream.
