Comment 28 for bug 355021

I'm using a Wacom Intuos 3.

The default factory packages did not crash my system, but I had limited functionality. After installing an updated version of the linux-wacom package (directly from the project site), I cannot successfully boot my laptop without either:

a) plugging in the tablet (and unplugging it at any time thereafter crashes the system)
b) commenting out the lines in xorg.conf defining it as an inputdevice.

Curiously -- commenting out the lines still allows me to use the tablet, but only the Stylus & Eraser show up in wacomcpl. To get the Pad to show up, I need to have its line uncommented in the xorg.conf.
