My Issue in KARMIC

The solution above to remove the /etc/hal/fdi/policy/custom_wacom.fdi
file solved my probelm as well, which is related but different.

I upgraded to Karmic from Jaunty and even though my swap file size was
plenty large enough (reference to the release notes on Karmic about the
Xserver crash when Karmic inadvertently reduces the swap file size), my
system WOULD NOT BOOT with the Wacom Intuous 3 tablet plugged in. I un-
installed the Ubuntu Wacom tools and driver set and unplugged the
tablet. Then I could boot up again (actually, it would boot up but I
would have to try 3 or 4 times before it finally would boot)

On seeing this bug report I found the above mentioned file. It must have
been created when I configured the tablet in one of the graphics
programs. After removing it I can boot up again with the tablet plugged
in and all works fine except the eraser.

I haven't tried the suggested config files pointed to in comment #11
above. When I examine them, they are just one line of numbers, whereas
my old file was quite lengthy with many directives set. Can you use that
file as it is and just insert that line of numbers to replace the entire
contents of the old custom__wacom.fdi or do you rename the file to just
custom.fdi? The comment seems to say that using the custom_wacom.fdi
name is a problem.
