Hi, I just updated to Ubuntu Intrepid testing sources, which include X.org 7.4, and as kernel I'm using the latest Linus' tree. And my wacom tablet has stopped working properly, just like described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wacom-tools/+bug/260675 As this bug appeared when I updated X.org I'd blame the X driver for this bug (it's not a kernel regression), but there's people pointing to a kernel patch [1] that updates the kernel driver to the latest version to get this problem fixed, so I ask: Is there some bug in the kernel wacom module that can be sent as a simple fix to -stable (2.6.27 will be released really soon), or have the linuxwacom people decided to change the compatibility between the X <-> kernel wacom interfaces without pushing the changes to one side, and then we must wait to 2.6.28 because it's an "improvement"? It'd be interesting to get this issue fixed ASAP, as having stable releases of X.org and Linux which can't work together is not very nice, specially for the ones of us that use a tablet as mouse.
