This script will probably not work as in Jaunty the names "Stylus" and "Pad" are no longer recognised: you have to use the full names of the devices instead. For example on my tablet PC the name for "Stylus" is "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer". To find out what the names of your devices are you need to run "xinput --list" in a terminal. Then you will have to change the above script to use those names (make sure you enclose the names in quotes " "). Personally I hope this will all get easier to configure in a future version of Ubuntu. It's pretty horrible at the moment.
