It can be a bug in the software, or maybe some malfunction of the device itself.

The tablet, which comes with a pen or stylus and a mouse, worked perfectly under 11.1 and KDE3, although I never bothered to set up the Eraser tip of the pen. Things only started going bad with the installation of KDE4. The "work around" suits me fine because I preferred using the mouse on the tablet and rarely used the pen anyway. Thanks again for your help. Geoff Beale

Some are a mix of old and new USB hubs. Mine is one such animal, so I have to be careful what devices I plug into what ports. I use the old, slow ports for my printer and other slow devices, and the new ports for anything newer, especially if it requires 2.0.
