Hi,

I've just uploaded a new version of my kernel module that will enable 
hotplugging a Wacom tablet without any special tricks attached (meaning: no 
VT-switching).
It also seems to fix a problem with kernel oops:es when unplugging the tablet. 
Not everybody seems have this behaviour, but I have not had one single oops 
since I started using it and I used to get it every time..

It does not alter the properties of the device, so if you have a working 
configuration today you should not notice any difference in operation.

The latest changes are mostly cleanup of the code to conform to linux kernel 
source standards, but I did eliminate a memory leak as well (50-70 bytes 
every time a tablet was unplugged).

As always, available at: http://195.38.3.2/linuxprojs/

Feedback on the idea/implementation/performance most appreciated.


I'm getting to a point where I feel I'm almost ready to send patch updates to 
different places, but first a few questions you you all:

The current implementation only handles one tablet at a time. Would it be 
benificial to have support for several proxy devices each serving a different 
physical tablet? Might be messy to configure X in this case as there's no 
guarantee that the tablets end up on the same proxy-dev every time.

Who is the suitable receiver for this driver? The linuxwacom-project or is it 
recommended to go directly to the kernel-maintainers?

BR
