The eraser on my Inspiron 4000 works in RHL 7.1, 7.2. It works while running anaconda. It doesn't work once I'm booted (but the touch pad works).
I have no idea what you mean by "eraser". Can you clarify that please, and ad also the details of your system, including X server log and config files. Thanks.
