Comment 35 for bug 285305

I had a section for an aiptek tablet using the wacom driver that wasn't connected that started with 4/11 updates to give problems. X would consume ~40% CPU along with g-s-d ~30%, some settings applications would complain about g-s-d not being available (although it was running).

I first thought it was something wrong with some userside configuration, tried to clean stuff in gconf, etc, but nothing solved it. I then noticed > 300k errors in X log regarding the unavailability of the tablet so I tried to disable it in xorg.conf and the problems were gone.

Error opening /dev/input/aiptek_event : No such file or directory
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/aiptek_event
        No such file or directory.

Could have any of these changes provoke this? Can anyone try to create a xorg section for a missing device configured with sendcoreevents and check if the X server goes crazy?
