Other information: The xorg.conf file in Ubuntu has support for wacom tablets by default: Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # /dev/input/event # for USB Option "Type" "cursor" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection etc. Commenting out all the related entries un-breaks gdm.
This looks like an Xserver configuration issue, not a GDM bug. I'd recommend following this up with the Xorg team. Or this might be a problem with the default configuration provided by your distro.
Yes, I had this discusson for about a year with the GOK team as well. GOK crashed doe to the same settings. With the recent release of v1.2.1 it finally works, without changing the wacom settings in xorg.conf.
Okay. What fixes to GOK were required to get this working? Do you think changes are needed to GDM to make this work as well? If so, more detail would be helpful.
I can no longer reproduce this in the development version of Ubuntu (intrepid). You can probably close this bug.
Okay, closing. Please reopen if you find there is an issue that needs attention in GDM.
