Public bug reported:
Sometimes xinput seems to not report that it has set some extended input
devices.
This is quite annoying cause it may cause you to have a device such as a
tablet that you see it works with the corrects drivers (not just as a
mouse) but you just can't use it with gimp or any other drawing
applications that are claiming that there is no extended input device
Here are the result of some commands that explain the bug
cat /var/log/Worg.0.log |grep wacom
(II) LoadModule: "wacom"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so
(II) Module wacom: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
(II) Wacom driver level: 47-0.7.7-7 $
(**) stylus device is /dev/input/wacom
(**) WACOM: suppress value is 2
(**) cursor device is /dev/input/wacom
(**) WACOM: suppress value is 2
(**) eraser device is /dev/input/wacom
(**) WACOM: suppress value is 2
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "eraser" (type: Wacom Eraser)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "cursor" (type: Wacom Cursor)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "stylus" (type: Wacom Stylus)
[ so one can see that xorg actually add the extended devices ]
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
stylus Wacom X driver grabbed event device
(==) Wacom using pressure threshold of 30 for button 1
(==) Wacom USB Graphire4 tablet speed=9600 maxX=10208 maxY=7424 maxZ=511
resX=2032 resY=2032 suppress=2 tilt=enabled
(==) Wacom device "stylus" top X=0 top Y=0 bottom X=10208 bottom Y=7424
(==) Wacom device "cursor" top X=0 top Y=0 bottom X=10208 bottom Y=7424
(==) Wacom device "eraser" top X=0 top Y=0 bottom X=10208 bottom Y=7424
and
xidump -l
pointer disabled
keyboard keyboard
but as a result they are not present in the xidump (or the xsetpointer) list of
available device.
Thi might be an interraction with xserver-xgl package, I'll have to work
it out.
