Odd I thought I attached the xorg.conf, here are the wacom sections:

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "DebugLevel" "10"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "DebugLevel" "10"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "DebugLevel" "10"
EndSection

# Uncomment the following section if you you have a TabletPC that supports touch
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "touch"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "touch"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Serial Tablet PC ONLY
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
EndSection

InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
InputDevice "touch" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

I think the wacom driver needs a rebuild for the new xorg-server. Note that with input hotplugging, most input devices from xorg.conf are ignored anyways.
