Do I continue to see in that list what an "eraser" is vs. a "touch"? Or would I need to issue a secondary command to see its tags? I've come to terms with duplicate device names (i.e. 2 erasers) since its not unique to wacom. So thats no biggy but it has been nice to immediately see which part of tablet in its xinput name. Also, thinking from a possible future configuration GUI perspective, it would be nice if we could somehow bind a subset of devices together (a unique value; maybe the xinput # of first device in chain; shared in a tag or something). That way you know what wacom "common" options are shared among what other input devices. This is especially useful for tablets that have 2 input devices (such as Bamboo's) and so two sets of common options. Chris
