Bug Description
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 tablet.
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
Note that section ServerLayout aslo contains references
to these devices:
>Section "ServerLayout"
> Identifier "Default Layout"
> Screen "Default Screen" 0 0
> InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
> InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
> InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
> InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
> InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
>EndSection

"I wish that they could be an option and that's that...
but no, they have to be out of the box..."
Why, exactly, is that the case?
