Comment 16 for bug 188787

Hey Justin,
 well wacom tools is installed but that does nothing if the driver isnt
there unless you are saying that wacom tools is the driver??? Which would
completely surprise me!
 Look..if I have to drag out a feisty or gutsy xorg to run this then its
useless.. There is no reason anyone should have to do this. considering the
blazing speed at which ubuntu improves it seems like a huge step backwards
for wacom NOT to be autodetected and the settings in xorg set by default.
No , my tablet does not work with wacom tools and even though I put in the
xorg settings for wacom still nothing .
 In hardy cat event6 is for wacom and even that , along with the settings in
xorg do nothing.
Auto detection is imperative... the drivers need to be installed by default.

I have argued this way back when wacom was not installed or autodetected. If
someone decides to use ubuntu in a graphics house no wacom is a real mark
against its use or if someone who is handicapped has to jump through hoops
to get this running then again it is useless.
No, my tablet, an intuos III, is not running, wacom tools installed and all.
so my suggestion is to get autodetection back up and running
there are no alternatives to this!!
without it ubuntu cannot brag about accessibility features
Now... if you feel I am missing something, which is certainly possible, let
me know :)
By the way I am not angry or anything just very determined not to allow
something like this to get passed by by developers. Autodetection is
absolutely necessary.. and no way is it a proper action to have to borrow
something from another version's xorg to get this up and running.

coz
