Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
On Jaunty,
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
<
I've a little USB volito Wacom and a big serial Intuos (GD-0912-R) graphics
tablets, connected via serial<->USB adapter (my computer doesn't have serial
port).
The second one is sold really cheap by windows users because there are
no more supported on their systems.
USB volito hotplug works perfectly, nothing to configure in X.org.
USB-serial cable + serial wacom hotplug doesn't work.
I need to configure the device in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
The problem is if the wacom is plugged before the system boot, it's not
detected, and as hotplug doesn't work, I can't plug it after X.org has booted.
If the device isn't present at X.org starting, I've a text screen giving me
several solution to fallback from X.org failure.
Then I've to plug the device just after Linux kernel boot, but before X.org
start.
If X.org could hotplug detect it, it could be better.
My USB<=>serial cable device is :
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 099a:7160 Zippy Technology Corp.
It is well detected if usbserial mod is loadad :
[57054.204054] usb 2-4: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5

[57054.562459] usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303
[57054.562466] pl2303: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver
The tablet is even not seen as a standard mouse (as USB wacom are, if
the driver is not well configured).
