Well, it's not just a matter of newer tablets, the bug reported in ubuntu is from a user with a tablet which worked with the kernel included in ubuntu, which does not include any patch to the wacom's kernel driver, and X.org 7.3, and stopped working properly (ie, it "works", but click events don't work, and the pointer does weird things) installing X.org 7.4 (just like my wacom bamboo tablet). A newer version of X.org driver should not stop working with the devices and kernel.org drivers it used to work before.
Now that I'm looking at it, the xserver-xorg-input-wacom ubuntu package is not compiled from X.org 7.4, but from linuxwacom.sf.net sources, and is using the version 0.8.1.4, IOW, the -dev branch of linuxwacom.sf.net. So maybe the problem is that there's a bug in the -dev branch of linuxwacom, but in any case it should get fixed ASAP, as many people is going to hit this problem... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
