Well, there are two users with the problem, one on Arch (reported
through linuxwacom[1]) and one on Fedora[2] that Laura mentioned. If you look
at the Fedora bug, you'll see that I found an issue in the wacom driver
that fixes the crash, and seems to make the Fedora user happy. However,
the same patch is not sufficient for the Arch user, and we are trying to
get to it in the meantime.
I think I can safely send the fix for the oops now, but we need some
clarifications on the linuxwacom issues we are seeing.
