Thanks for your suggestion. I'll discuss this with our udev hacker at the office tomorrow, but I'm not sure it is really needed from our side because, since we fixed our configuration tool today, xorg InputDevice section will use a persistent udev rule (as explained in my answer to Ping) which can be easily computed by parsing sysfs (that is what our installer and configuration tool does), without relying on udev rules local to the system. So, as soon as a user will plug a Wacom tablet and he runs mousedrake (or reboot his system), xorg.conf will be configured without any additional user interaction. by-id udev path aren't that ugly after all (and most users will never have to change them). But nothing prevents us to ship those rules as part of our linuxwacom package. Too bad we have to duplicate the productID list in udev rules :( -- Frédéric Crozat ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
