First of all: Should I ever quote the mail I am responding to like here?  I guess this would be a little unreadable after some time, that´s why I am asking. I´m glad that  I could find something useful , thanks for the explanations =) "Ping Cheng from the linux wacom project is aware of this and will work on it soon,  you can see it at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1593330&group_id=69596&atid=525127" Would that fit? I´m sorry, but I just never had worked with bugzilla and don´t know if I had to take care of something by writing there..
