Hi, There are some known issues with the input device support in the current XOrg series which are difficult to fix outside of the xorg code, but this does sound like a new regression. Can you please confirm if this behaviour is present or absent with the 0.7.9.3-2 package from testing? I'm forwarding this to the linuxwacom list for comment, and at this stage I'll make this bug serious so this doesn't propagate to testing until we know a bit more about it... please include the linuxwacom folks in any further discussion on this.
Magnus, I saw some weirdness with this one too, that's not quite the same as what is reported here, but it involved the mouse behaviour becoming quite screwed up after a period of using the tablet stylus with the patched 0.8.0 release we put together. It was _really_ weird, the mouse would stop responding totally to button presses in the windows for one application, until I did something with it in a different application, then something else would fail to respond to them instead. At the time it was hard to say if the tablet, or just xorg (which I'd just upgraded on the machine under test) was to blame for what was going on, but I haven't used the tablet since (though it is plugged in with the driver loaded) and I haven't seen this reoccur. I'm not sure if these two things are at all related, but it does sound like something is still screwing up the device registration tables in xorg at the moment...
