Hi,
is there a project to handle hotpluging of X11 input devices?
For example, I have a Wacom USB tablet. Hotplug works well except
that the input subsystem is not yet integrated so I have to guess
which input device number is use by the tablet.
Even with a proper input subsystem, the X server would have to
be stopped and restarted when a new device is plugged in :-(
A first approach could be to change XFree86 but I have the
feeling that I could take months or years.
So I propose to develop an 'input' daemon responsible
of connecting hot-plugable devices to custom devices.
When the daemon is started, it creates a virtual device
for each physical device that may be plugged in the system.
