Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
The hardware detection of Xorg does not seem to work fine. The configuration process of Xorg (can be manually called by dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) adds wacom entries to the xorg.conf even when not having a tabletpc.
The following entries are obsolete for me:
>Section "InputDevice"
> Driver "wacom"
> Identifier "stylus"
> Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to
> # /dev/input/event
> # for USB
> Option "Type" "stylus"
> Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
>EndSection
>
>Section "InputDevice"
> Driver "wacom"
> Identifier "eraser"
> Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to
> # /dev/input/event
> # for USB
> Option "Type" "eraser"
> Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
>EndSection
>
>Section "InputDevice"
> Driver "wacom"
> Identifier "cursor"
> Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to
> # /dev/input/event
> # for USB
> Option "Type" "cursor"
> Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
>EndSection

I am going to be a bit brave here and reject this, since it seems to be an intentional decision by the Xorg team. If the inclusion is causing a specific problem, then you should file a bug about the problem. Feel free to reopen this if I am incorrect in my reasoning.
Unfortunately, the underlying cause of all of this is that xorg.conf just doesn't work well with hotplugging, and the configuration system of Xorg will eventually need to be redone entirely, which will fix all problems of this sort. |
