A note about searching: Theres a better way than find. Locate is very
fast, so locate wacom.fdi gives a quick answer. The only downside of
locate is that it indexes files on a regular basis and so does not find
files created very recently.

Finaly I can use my note taking programs again.
If Anyone is interested in rotating the tablet, that's my fdi file:

fdi file is a hal policy file that tells hal to tell Xorg about your

you have done this before and you had a working X
Alexia,
Thank you for taking the time to explain the situation clearly.
I'm relieved to know that the new HAL settings apply to devices that are
added and removed after booting the computer. My Wacom is permanently
attached, so I guess I can safely side step the HAL issues.
Whoever is making
I had the same problem as Dave MG. I know about computers, I program
them, but I the fdi files are not my area of interest, I didn't know
what they meant either. So Alexia, you had been very helpful with me
too(and the people that will read this in the future).
I had an xorg file that worked fine

And edit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-wacom.fdi to include your options that

Wacom tablet hotplug is no longer enabled by default
OK, it seems it was moved from there when it was re-enabled, not copied
as I assumed.
That changes the command to:
sudo cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-wacom.fdi
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-wacom.fdi
Theoreticly you should not need to change the file at

I think that was the old location, now it's enabled by default you should find
it in /usr/share//hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-wacom.fdi

As a graphics developer and not a technical person, I'm struggling with

use of the stylus only, with no options for configuration.
However, this limited functionality is not sufficient for the

Aaron: Jaunty will likely have a full-fledged configurator for X.
I'm reverting the change since it appears that stylus is what most are
using. The release team will decide if and when it'll go in the archive.

I still need an extra xorg.conf file. See attached file.

I also want to add that this xorg.conf is not my working xorg.conf from Hardy.
The xorg.conf from Hardy was not working with wacom support.
I have attached the old xorg.conf which was working well on Hardy.
** Attachment added: xorg.conf.back
these two attachments make it clear to me that getting full tablet
support will require manual futzing in intrepid for /all/ users, whether
upgrading or new installs, and therefore enabling the fdi by default
doesn't hurt us. accepting, and adding a task to document this in the
release notes.

I can see the one weakness of hal based hotplug why it does not work for
tabletPC-s. There is no hotplug event. If I have my tablet connected at
X start I need to replug it and that is not possible for tabletPC-s.
IMHO the only sane solution to allow for full functionality in the
future is to
The interweb is full of examples for previous Xorg releases - simply
copy/pasting the correct information will hose X, since the InputDevice

@Alexia: I guess the justification for this decision is, that, according

Also, if it is enabled by default, the wacom tablets stylus would

I have a serial wacom device on my tablet pc...
I was mislead by all this fdi stuff and thought that mine might be a USB one
and all I needed to do was copy that fdi file...
I ended up copying an xorg.conf from gentoo wiki and had to delete a whole lot
of font configuration and stuff like that
I agree with Alexia - the hotplug out of the box should be prioritized.
Actually - my Wacom doesn't work at all with my old Hardy setup (where
it works fine):

@Trond Thorbjørnsen - I was just about to recommend checking your X

for the static conf to not work.
@Jose Hevia - the odd behaviour was caused by a missmatch between
kernel and X driver versions. It is now corrected. All you
I agree with Alexia on this to. I prefer only the stylus working out of

I have the same problem.
My wacom sapphire tablet is not working on intrepid, it doesn't work as

previous intrepid releases, and it worked very well before with proper
xorg configuration on Hardy.

+1 for enabling the device out-of-the-box. I'll probably reconfigure my
setup for full functionality later on, but I'd rather have partial

Right now, its stuck at hal capabilities and the tablets special 1:n
mapping between the kernel device and X device. One device from kernel
end needs to be presented to X as at least styus and eraser + some more
devices depending on what model you have. Hal cant do that. there might
be a way to
Surely, it is sensible to allow for new users to have hotplug and
partial functionality over a totally nonfunctional device.
I agree with this but can someone explain why the advanced settings for
tablets can't be used with the hotplug. Restarting X to change settings
seems like the stone age!!!
