On Ubuntu precise 12.04 this posed no problem. On Quantal 12.10 this exexutes fine ,seemingly without a problem. But when I go to mypaint and try to do some work in it (like panning or changing some modes) I get a black screen and get reverted to login screen. My device is the asus EP 121. It uses a wacom penabled input tool. The "touchpad" that I disable is the screen, only for finger input. I was advised to enclose the x server log.
