YAY! I updated the xf86-input-wacom to 0.17.0 and patched it with the frankenserver patch following the instructions here http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopi...93b634d3d6396e (nice post by the way Favux). And so far no freezing!!!!
I'll need to test it more to confirm that my problem is totally fixed, but so far everything seems fine
Once again Favux you're the supreme grand master of all things Tablet, Wacom and Stylus on these forums
marking this thread as SOLVED! WOOHOO!
