** Summary changed:
- Wacom tablet is not supported anymore
+ Want auto-configuration or gui configuration of Wacom tablets
** Description changed:
+ By default, input devices like wacom tablets must be manually enabled in
+ xorg.conf. This is how Xorg has worked by default.
+
+ In Feisty and some earlier versions, Ubuntu's dexconf would hardcode the
+ Wacom tablet entries into all Ubuntu user's xorg.conf in order to make
+ wacom tablets work out of the box on the few users systems that had
+ them. This resulted in confusing warnings being emitted to the majority
+ of users who did not have wacom tablets, and also caused bugs in other
+ applications (notably rendering an important accessibility tool
+ unusable), so after many, many requests by users the entries were
+ disabled.
+
+ The unfortunate result is that this means wacom users have to once again
+ manually configure this in xorg.conf if doing a fresh install. For
+ people who upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy, this was not an issue since
+ their xorg.conf was carried along unchanged.
+
+ In a way this trades one bug for another, but the "fix" for the original
+ bug was just an ugly hack. When input hotplug works reliably (hopefully
+ in time for Intrepid), it will no longer be necessary to require users
+ to modify xorg.conf, but for now that is the standard way to do it.

Hi everyone,
My wacom table graphire worked OK in Gutsy Gibbons, I made a clean
install of Hardy Heron, and now only the pen is working (but not the
eraser and the pressure) i.e. the mouse is not working! I reinstalled
wacom-tools and the xorg-wacom-.... packages several times and the
xorg.conf wasn't touched!
Here is my xorg.conf
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

When i tried to make the same steps of adding

My Xorg collapsed! It only could work in a low, low resolution mode and
the system freezes in the logout... So what can i do now? Do I should
report this as a bug?
