Try dpkg-reconfigure --force wacom-kernel-source If anything goes wrong then please copy the complete output of this command into a mail and send it to the list. > I hope formatting is a bit better now, I'll try my best from now on. You are still top-posting, i.e. you put your text above the text of the message to which you are replying. I know that this style is very common in the business world and it is more or less OK as long as you have a dialog between two persons and both still remember the previous messages. For a mailing list such as debian-user, however, it is better to put the reply at the appropriate position in the older text and to trim the previous message where possible, but not too much. Just look at this mail: Many people will read it without remembering the previous messages. Therefore they cannot know which file we are referring to and which changes I suggested you should make. There are just too many threads going on on debian-user, and hardly anybody has time to look up old messages in the archive. So most people will be mildly annoyed by this message and will quickly delete it. That means nobody joins in with new ideas and nobody can spot mistakes that I may have made, etc. Ergo: top-posting is double-plus-ungood. The whole issue is nowadays complicated by forums such as www.debianhelp.org which sponge off the content of this mailing list (nothing wrong with that) and then feed the questions/reactions of their users back to this list in an inappropriate manner. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
