Dan, thanks for this info. However, my problem begins earlier than in X
and using evdev instead of evtouch does not solve it.

It seems that some Linux guests have problems communicating with the
tablet device. The most reproducible behavior that I noticed is when
FC-6 starts: gpm senses the tablet, but only until haldaemon starts.
After that, I cannot obtain any mouse event (even after stopping
haldaemon).

Could you tell if this can be avoided?

Thanks,

Dan.
