I've got a Wacom tablet and I get the following error from /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon when the tablet is connected to the usb port: ===== [dennis@nexus ~]$ /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device'. (Details: serial 2221 error_code 170 request_code 150 minor_code 3) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Here are the relevant xorg.conf entries I have to comment out when I disconnect the device: ===== # InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" # InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" # InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" #Section "InputDevice" # Driver "wacom" # Identifier "cursor" # Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY # Option "Type" "cursor" # Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY #EndSection #Section "InputDevice" # Driver "wacom" # Identifier "stylus" # Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY # Option "Type" "stylus" # Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY #EndSection #Section "InputDevice" # Driver "wacom" # Identifier "eraser" # Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY # Option "Type" "eraser" # Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY #EndSection =====
Hi, I'm pushing a new control-center package into rawhide that may address this issue. It should show up tomorrow. Can you test it and tell me if it works for you?
The new package fixed the problem for me. Thanks!
Great, thanks.
