Hey guys,
  Well I did the Vincenzo patch and, with nvidia, Igor is correct it did not maintain the nvidia settings in xorg and they had to be copied and pasted in .
  however, as nicely as this works, it is not enough !!
This is unacceptable for handicapped individuals who require a wacom tablet to function on a computer.
 This is having someone jump through hoops which is the opposite of offering accessibility features!!!
 excuse me if I sound a bit irritated, however this lighting speed every six month approach to ubuntu , at least in this case, is out of hand. I think anyone who uses or "requires" wacom tablets would have been more than willing to wait until auto detection was fixed. This patch is nice and it works with some adjustments using nvidia, however i would never expect any of my handicapped clients finding their way with this patch, which from their point of view, would require them to pay me to fix the issue.
  I dont know who creates the "agenda" list for the next version of ubuntu, however when it comes to things that have already been implimented, ie wacom tabelts autodetection, and it is not working on the new version of ubuntu, then that particular issue should be high on the list of fixes, otherwise there is no need for a new version if it steps backwards.
 I apologize if i sound "picky" or aggressive here, but I do have handicapped clients and I do tend to get very agressive when i see something like this occur. In my opinion , this is mind boggling. Accessibility features must not be seen as secondary issues to the working of the OS, it must be at the top of the list of requirements for the system to be realesed.
  I think it's irrelevant that it would push the release date to 8 months instead of 6.
