Hi Gaudenz, sorry, my report was rather incomplete as the cpu eating happends after *removing* the usb tablet. i have tried to investigate a little more.

it seems there is actually two problems:
- when booting with a usb pointer, no mouse in X when mouseemu
is running
- when unplugging a wacom tablet, mouseemu eats all the cpu.
after a few mouseemu restart, Xfree, keyboard and mouse are
locked.

yes, the tablet was connected at boot time.

this does not seem to cause any trouble.

not quite. stopping it gave me back the mouse. when starting
mouseemu, the cpu goes back up. more exactly:
no mouse at start in X. from here i tried the 2 following:
1. unplug the tablet -> still no mouse, mouseemu goes up
mouseemu stop -> no more cpu eating
mouseemu start -> process back to 100%, no more mouse
after 3 or 4 restart, X gets frozen and the keyboard does not
work anymore.
2. mouseemu stop -> trackpad and tablets are back
mouseemu start -> no more trackpad
mouseemu stop -> trackpad back, seem to send \n to the terminal
where run from: the terminal execute empty command lines until i
press [enter] which stops it.
mouseemu start -> no more trackpad

i have seen the mouse jumping only once. trying again today, i
just managed

trying to boot with a usb mouse plugged, unplugging the mouse
does *not* make mouseemu eat all the cpu. but i had no mouse in X
either, and stopping mouseemu gave me back both the mouse and the
trackpad.
