    Hi Charles,

    You're probably being hit by this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/863532
    Where a change in Xorg means that timeout values which used to be
    interpreted as microseconds are now being taken as milliseconds ...
    so things are waiting 1000x as long as they should.

    The tablet devices aren't the only ones affected by this, but for
    some users they certainly are. The fix is a patch to Xorg though,
    not to the wacom driver, so I'm forwarding this message to that bug,
    and closing 867813 that you filed against the wacom driver package.

    Dear Maintainer,

    I have a Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 with Stretch (XFCE, SSH, standard system utilities) that appears to
    boot normally, right up to the point where I would expect lightdm to show. Instead, I have a black
    screen that has a non blinking cursor on the upper left. If I let this sit, eventually (I haven't
    timed, but +5minutes) lightdm will appear and I can login. After that everything appears to load at
    normal speed. During these black screens, I can still SSH into the machine.

    I have installed firmware-linux-free and non-free, as well as intel-microcode (with and without
    the blacklist) thinking it might help, but it did not. Switched from Stretch to SID to see if some
    updated packages would help, but they did not. Edited lightdm for autologin, no change (other than
    skipping lightdm.) I re installed Jessie just to make sure I wasn't having some sort of hardware
    fluke, and Jessie worked just fine. At the moment I'm back to a fresh Stretch install (XFCE, SSH,
    standard system utilities, firmware-linux-free and nonfree, and intel-microcode.)

    I reached out on reddit, where a user there called my attention to my Xorg.0.log:

    [ 367.872] (II) Serial Wacom Tablet FUJ02e5: other types will be automatically added.
    [ 617.953] (II) Serial Wacom Tablet FUJ02e5 stylus: serial tablet id 0x90.

    Xorg seems to only notify lightdm that it's ready after that tablet is fully initialized, and only
    then does lightdm switch to tty7.

    Uninstalling xserver-xorg-input-wacom will make my laptop boot normally (albeit wihout stylus support.)
