Hi Dan, While sorting through my customers' requests for wacom X driver related issues, I encountered another "unusual" situation: How can we explicitly let X server ignore a device on a hotplugging enabled system? Some users want to run X server. But they don't want wacom_drv.so to grad the device. They want to process the data directly from the kernel themselves. When we discussed the "true hotplugging" X server, we kinda assumed that at least one driver will pick up the device in X server by default. Do we have an existing option to disable hotplugging for a device? Ping
