Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libxi6
One of the most expected feature of Hardy is Xorg 7.3 with xandr and
xinput able to manage hotplug.
If xandr seems to do it properly, I have been experiencing troubles
with xinput :
while plugin in a graphic tablet it is recognised by xinput (xinput list
gives the new extented devices names) but not by the application (gimp
or any other thing just do not see it).
And even thought the devices are correctly listed by xinput, they are
not properly set-up (I am almost unable to use the tablet as a mouse,
and there is no pressure detected at all).
It is possible to make the application aware of the existence of the
devices using "xinput set-mode devicename absolute/relative", but then
there still is the not correctly set bug.
unloading and reloading the module does not help.
If the tablet is pluged in at X start-up it works pretty well.
Regards.
