Since I've upgraded linuxwacom from 0.8.2_p2 to 0.8.3_p3, X is crashing as soon as I launch CellWriter (1.3.4). Downgrading to linuxwacom 0.8.2_p2 fixes the issue. Attached is Xorg.0.log containing the backtrace and my xorg.conf (nothing special in it, except the standard wacom configuration for Tablet-PC). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install linuxwacom-0.8.3_p2 2. start X (configured with wacom devices) 3. launch cellwriter Actual Results: X crashes.

Please be very specific, you mentioned 0.8.3_p3 and 0.8.3_p2, which one do you mean? 0.8.3_p3 was available in my overlay for a brief period, but is *not* recommended and is pretty broken in fact. It looks from your logs as though you're using 0.8.3_p2, which should be fine. 0.8.3_p2 now uses HAL to do device configuration, so could you please comment out the two wacom inputdevice sections from your Xorg.conf, and also please ensure you don't have any custom fdi files present in /etc/hal/fdi for dealing with the wacom (some people put them in for previous versions to get HAL support, and they conflict now that official HAL support has been added). Let us know if that changes anything, thanks... 5:)
Thanks for your answer and sorry for this confusion. The problem occurs both for 0.8.3_p2 and 0.8.3_p3 (as it was crashing for _p2 I've tried with the newest _p3). I should have mentionned I've tried removing references to wacom from xorg.conf. Stylus is working and no crash occured _but_ xsetwacom can't see any wacom device, so I cannot rotate it for instance, which makes my tablet-pc useless :). I thought specifying wacom devices sections in xorg.conf was mandatory for xsetwacom. But perhaps is there another way for rotating stylus coordinates when using HAL?
Errr, I'm not certain about that one I'm afraid. I'm glad the crash has been solved, as for the rotation I haven't found anything save for a similar report of problems on the ubuntu forums [1]. Unfortunately the database seems to be having problems at the moment, and I can only get the page from the google cache, so it doesn't mention if there's a solution. Best bet is to keep looking around and see if another solution can be found. I'll try to keep an eye out too... [1] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7097651
I am not too happy with this myself either, but you have to supply the full name of the wacom device as announced by HAL. For me, this is: $ xinput --list | grep Wacom "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer" id=2 [XExtensionKeyboard] "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer eraser" id=3 [XExtensionKeyboard] Then I run $ xsetwacom set "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer" Rotate HALF $ xsetwacom set "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer eraser" Rotate HALF to rotate 180°. Since we do not ship any scripts to rotate the devices, there's nothing we can fix.
Reassigning since I can't look after linuxwacom any more.
linuxwacom was removed from main tree.
