Public bug reported: I have an HP 2710p Tablet PC running Xubuntu 11.04, which features a wacom tablet. The stylus always works on first boot, but as soon as I sleep and then resume the system, the stylus stops working. It's still listed in "xinput list", but it just wouldn't work.
It seems the problem lies in the kernel module, so I'm not sure that this is the right way to do this, but unloading the wacom module before sleep and then adding it back after resume seems to make everything work correctly. Question: why isn't this included in Ubuntu by default? I've had this problem since leaving Xubuntu 10.04 for 10.10, and now 11.04.. I've attached a patch to apply to /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg-input- wacom.preinst But if you want to just fix your own system, simply make a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d named "75_wacom", and put this into it: #!/bin/sh # load and unload wacom module for suspend and hibernate case "$1" in thaw|resume) modprobe wacom ;; suspend|hibernate) modprobe -r wacom ;; esac Thanks, Ubuntu is cool. p.s. this was based off of moaxey's work at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1686278.html ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: xorg 1:7.6+4ubuntu3.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Fri Jul 8 12:19:44 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: natty DistroVariant: ubuntu EcryptfsInUse: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) [8086:2a02] (rev 0c) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:30c8] Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:30c8] InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq 2710p (#ABA) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=10075b3d-bbec-4b09-93e0-b9a42fcc47c8 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 Renderer: Unknown SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 01/22/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.bios.version: 68MOU Ver.
