I'm trying to make this kind of tablet working with my gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r11. I get this error when I connect it to my USB: <##################################################################### usbhid: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5 #####################################################################> On boot I get the following (related) dmesg messages: <##################################################################### usbcore: registered new driver usbfs usbcore: registered new driver hub USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v2.2 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1f.2: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1) PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.2 to 64 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1f.2: irq 11, io base 0000b000 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1f.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 1.01, 11:14:50 Jul 18 2004 usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using address 2 bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ..<6>usbcore: registered new driver hiddev ok input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1f.2-1 usbcore: registered new driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver ohci_hcd: 2004 Feb 02 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI) ohci_hcd: block sizes: ed 64 td 64 ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.0: NEC Corporation USB ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.0: irq 12, pci mem e0ee1000 ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 2-0:1.0: 3 ports detected ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.1: NEC Corporation USB (#2) ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.1: irq 11, pci mem e0ee3000 usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using address 2 ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 usbhid: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5 drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: input: Aiptek on usb-0000:02:09.0-1 (event2) drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: input: Aiptek using 400 ms programming speed usbcore: registered new driver aiptek drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: v1.5 (May-15-2004): Bryan W.

Can you see if you can reproduce this on a kernel.org [ development-sources ] kernel please? Thanks.
No way also with the current development-sources ebuild (vanilla 2.6.7) This is from /var/log/messages on boot and after when I unplug and plugback again the device to the usb ######################################################## Jul 30 21:11:21 gas ohci_hcd: 2004 Feb 02 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI) Jul 30 21:11:21 gas ohci_hcd: block sizes: ed 64 td 64 Jul 30 21:11:21 gas ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.0: NEC Corporation USB Jul 30 21:11:21 gas ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.0: irq 12, pci mem e0ef8000 Jul 30 21:11:21 gas ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 Jul 30 21:11:21 gas hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found Jul 30 21:11:21 gas hub 2-0:1.0: 3 ports detected Jul 30 21:11:22 gas ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.1: NEC Corporation USB (#2) Jul 30 21:11:22 gas ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.1: irq 11, pci mem e0efa000 Jul 30 21:11:22 gas usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using address 2 Jul 30 21:11:22 gas ohci_hcd 0000:02:09.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 Jul 30 21:11:22 gas usbhid: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -5 Jul 30 21:11:23 gas drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: input: Aiptek on usb-0000:02:09.0-1 (event2) Jul 30 21:11:23 gas Jul 30 21:11:25 gas drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: input: Aiptek using 400 ms programming speed Jul 30 21:11:25 gas Jul 30 21:11:25 gas usbcore: registered new driver aiptek Jul 30 21:11:25 gas drivers/usb/input/aiptek.c: v1.5 (May-15-2004): Bryan W.

I want to specify that the pen moves a littlebit on the screen but without any logic: so it's partially recognized. At the same way with both kernels.
Since this is an issue in the upstream kernel.org sources which we don't maintain could you please file a bug at http://bugme.osdl.org so the upstream kernel developers can have a look at this issue? Thanks!
So why is fedora working? Did they repair it without letting the community know?
