thanks for your reply, Greg.

I tried what you have suggested. Unfortunately, this doesn't change
anything.

What confuses me a bit is that theses USB disconnects do not appear
as soon as I read what the tablet provides.

Could it be that the usb driver doesn't check for a connect status change
while there's a process reading /dev/input/{mouse,event}? so that I do not
see these disconnects while reading the tablet data?

Or could it be that something prevents the tablet from disconnecting itself
when a process is reading the tablet data?

Regards,
Denny
