Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
The topic was raised at another bugs discussion but it merits its own bug. The previous discussion can be found at at the end of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wacom-tools/+bug/260675 The issue is that fdi file that makes hot-plug work for stylus on all wacom tablets is no longer installed by default making the devices completely nonfunctional without complicated X setup or doing a cryptic file copy like this: sudo cp /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-wacom/10-wacom.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-wacom.fdi Surely, it is sensible to allow for new users to have hotplug and partial functionality over a totally nonfunctional device. The only negative side-effect I see is that it interferes with the set- up of any people who have their devices already configured in X conf file. And those people are more than capable of removing the fdi file. Or they may, as I have, actually opt to using the device as hot-plug and with partial capabilities rather than permanently configured and requiring X restart when you did not have it plugged in at X start. ** Affects: wacom-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Wacom tablet hotplug is no longer enabled by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
