You're right, if I plug it in before X starts it is detected, opened, and all the things you expect from it works like it should. Once I got my configuration right it hasn't failed me once under these conditions. It's just that I don't always have it plugged in when I boot my machine. I have a laptop and a tendency to move it around a bit and on some places there just ain't enough room for the tablet...

Yes, I saw that at the time of my original post, and that fix will work for those who know what to do when they (accidently) pull it out. Mm.. Maybe only for some.. My config accepted the tablet only through /dev/input/mice if it was not connected when X started and no VT switching could remedy that. Restarting X did the thing though, but the kernel oops'ed and crashed the usb-subsystem (I think) when I pulled it out.. I'll have a deeper look into this later and make another post with more details if it's not a fault of my own. Anyway, I think switching VT's to get it working again is fine for us who knows that trick (the fact that this could help after unplug/plug took me some time to find), but for the average user? I don't know... I do know that I'm usually far too lazy to read the documentation and would probably miss a 2-line comment with a tip like this. > You should get in touch with Ping, he > might be interested with your program, in case there's still development > to be done. I'm hoping for a comment from Ping when he gets back or from the others on the project (or any of the other on the list). If only explaining why it's not such a good idea. Btw I managed to get on the list now... So CC:ing me is not needed anymore..
