Hi Magnus, Thank you for your quick reply!
I am new to the Linux world and I'm a bit confused with the functions of hotplug and udev. Let me ask you a different question. If a Wacom Cintiq 21UX is attached and working with XFree86, then powered off, what software is required for XFree86 to recognize when the tablet has been powered back on and map the inputs back to the correct /dev/input/event character device without restarting XFree86? The tablet works fine with XFree86 until it is either powered off, unplugged, or changes to powersave mode. When the tablet is powered back on, it registers under a different character device than specified in the XF86Config file. My flavour is Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) Kernel 2.6.15.7 on an i686 Thank you for your time.

I thought hotplug and udev addressed two different things (driver loading and /dev management). None of them something I'd associate with re-opening the device file at hotplug time. Maybe I'm mistaken.. Anyway, what do you have in mind when you say 'wacom proxy'? Something more than the wacom kernel module? There are two different implementations of a proxy to the wacom driver (one on the linuxwacom web pages and the other as a separate project here, 'wacomproxy'), and both will make it possible to just plug your tablet into your computer and use them in X without any additional tweaks.
