Bug Description
QuadPen Tablet - worked fine using wacom drivers on Ubuntu 8.04. After upgrade to 8.10 it stopped working. I have uncommented lines in xorg.conf which show how it was configured before:
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#Section "InputDevice"
# Driver "wacom"
# Identifier "stylus"
# Option "Device" "/dev/tablet-event"
# Option "Type" "stylus"
# Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
# Option "USB" "on"
# Option "Mode" "Absolute"
# Option "Threshold" "1"
#Option "Model" "Flair"
#EndSection
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#Section "InputDevice"
# Driver "wacom"
# Identifier "cursor"
# Option "Device" "/dev/tablet-event"
# Option "Type" "cursor"
# Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
# Option "USB" "on"
# Option "Mode" "Absolute"
# Option "Threshold" "1"
# #Option "Model" "Flair"
#EndSection
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#Section "InputDevice"
# Driver "wacom"
# Identifier "eraser"
# Option "Device" "/dev/tablet-event"
# Option "Type" "eraser"
# Option "!ForceDevice" "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
# Option "USB" "on"
# Option "Mode" "Absolute"
# Option "Threshold" "1"
# #Option "Model" "Flair"
#EndSection
(...)
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
# Inputdevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
# Inputdevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
# Inputdevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
Uncommenting them causes XServer to crash (Ubuntu will stop on "Checking batteries [OK]" and when I log in using CTRL+F1 startx will get me "no screen" error). The tablet works best with above settings (Threshold 1 is very importart).

Still here. My tablet (ACECAD clone) is not working on fresh Ubuntu 9.10 installation. I can move the cursor but when I click on something nothing happens. It uses ACECAD drivers.
I'll switch manually to wacom drivers and edit the xorg.conf (adding the uncommented lines) later and it will probably work. But it would be great if it worked out of the box.
