<div><div class="Ih2E3d">Hi all, Although I've managed to make the
driver working on my system, I face the following irritating behavior:
When there is a change in the system (e.g. I plug a memory stick, I
plug/unplug a network cable, I switch the keyboard and the tablet to a
Windows XP machine with a 2 ports KVM switch and then go back to
Linux), the tablet goes to the state described before: the two buttons
of the pen are working but the rest devices not. I can not move the
cursor and I have to touch the pen to the tablet&nbsp; in order to see the
cursor moving and only in a very limited area. When I restart X Server,
it works fine. It is very irritating though especially when I have a
lot of windows open and I have to reopen every single one of them.
Before restarting X Server if I unplug and plug the tablet again and
then check var/log/messages it gives me the following: </div><div class="Ih2E3d">Is there any solution to the problem? If not is there a workaround to reset only the driver and not the whole X Server? </div></div></blockquote>Your
problem sounds like hot-plug is overriding your&nbsp; X conf. see if you
have file called like *wacom.fdi on your system. That is HAL conf file
for hotplug. HAL support is incomplete and only hotplugs stylus. By
removing it HAL hotplug is disabled and you can use the VT change trick
for re-enablying your device after you use your KVM. There is a way to get full hotplug for 1.5 xserver but its an alpha state and not trivial to set up.
