So in essence, someone is always complaining. :-P I know what you mean, but well -- ideally we want to converge on the correct behavior. Otherwise we'll just keep spinning and things stay broken. To my view, blacklisting a joystick which (wrongly) reports itself as a digitizer tablet is an improvement over creating broken joystick devices for anything that reports itself as a tablet. From that position we can fix the problem with the single device reporting the wrong device type and then everyone can be happy. -Tim --=-jZ/xnIvkPoNVlWknYCj8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAksiz3EACgkQFlpmZvrZ1oxINQCfSmB7tZS4KQ5foP6pxUGqL0b8 cT0AoImcAxpQTvp66SjmBSeXF3GCpkvO =/e6Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-jZ/xnIvkPoNVlWknYCj8--
