Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid (64-bit).

Previously with Karmic, I have been able to disconnect and reconnect my
USB input devices (Kinesis Advantage USB keyboard and Wacom Graphire 2
tablet connected to an Apple Cinema Display connected to a Belkin KVM
switch) by using the KVM switch.

Now with Lucid, switching the USB devices back to the Ubuntu box
sometimes crashes X when the Wacom tablet is detected.

Details:
* The KVM switch identifies itself as No brand Combo Free KVM - 10d5:5000 Uni 
Class Technology Co., Ltd

* The KVM switch has dedicated ports for mouse and keyboard for the
purpose of faking the continuous presence of the mouse and keyboard to
two computers. That function of the KVM switch doesn't work, so I have
instead connected my input devices to a USB hub port of the KVM switch.
Using this port is equivalent to disconnecting and reconnecting the USB
devices when the KVM switch toggles between computers.

* Typically, after reconnecting the Wacom tablet, it takes a couple of
seconds for the LED on the tablet to light up and the tablet to become
operational. This means I have a couple of seconds to see X when
switching back to the Ubuntu box and X dies when the LED on the tablet
lights up.

* Once X dies, I see the kind of text briefly that one would sometimes
see when shutting down a Ubuntu Live system. Then I'm taken back to the
login screen.

* If I switch back and forth quickly in order to provoke the problem, it
doesn't happen. It seems to happen when the USB devices have been
disconnected at least a couple of minutes before reconnecting.

* If I press keys on the keyboard and/or try to tap the tablet with the
tip of the stylus after connecting the devices but before the LED on the
wacom tablet lights up, the crash is more probable.
