Package: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
Version: 0.34.0-1

I own a Lenovo Thinkpad X201 Tablet laptop. When initializing an X session with this package, the video goes black and the keyboard is no longer functional. The only way to safely shutdown/reboot is via Magic Sysrq commands (ex: Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring).

On this same laptop, if the specified package is absent, the X session starts normally without tablet functionality.

Having encountered this issue on previous non-systemd distros, the solution is this command:
$ isdv4-serial-inputattach /dev/ttyS0

This command should be incorporated via a custom init script, by editing the Xsession/display manager init script, or something else as long as it's executed before X. To hide the output of this command and background, I modify the above command to:
$ isdv4-serial-inputattach /dev/ttyS0 > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Afterward running the above command, the X session launches successfully with tablet functionality.Hi.

There has not be an answer to this bug for 18 months, so I am closing it.
If there is an update to the bug, you can reopen it.
