wacom fail

[bart deruyter]

I've been browsing around in the ubuntu forums, searching for a solution.
Apparently it is a Natty bug. There is a fix, but it requires quite some
patching.. and at the moment, I'm not up to it.

I actually am getting tiered of applying patches and fixes each time I
upgrade. If it's not wacom, it's my soundcard, if it's not my soundcard it's
my webcam.. and then there might be the wireless network card of which the
driver is dropped... It is becoming extremely tiresome. The sad thing is, if
I don't upgrade, I miss fixes that only can be applied by upgrading. Like my
soundcard. The midi port was only available since upgrading to Natty... but
then, it broke something else again.. "sigh"...

Instead of focussing on new things, Ubuntu should focussing on stability.
Usability by designing thought out user interfaces is fine, but only when
the machine can get to work properly. So far exactly that has never been the
case. I've always had a piece of hardware malfunctioning because of bad
configuration or broken drivers, modules and whatever more there might be.

grtz,
Bart
