You should restart the OpenTabletDriver daemon after updating this file.

## Can I bypass the stock tablet driver block? {#bypass-driver-block}

Yes. Use the `-i` flag when invoking `modprobe` to bypass the block. E.g.:

```sh
modprobe -i wacom
```

OpenTabletDriver uses `install /usr/bin/true` rather than `blacklist` as some
official manufacturer tablet drivers was found to not clean up properly when
uninstalled.
