Description Stéphane Marguet 2007-02-10 11:35:17 UTC 
On Ubuntu, a lot of xorg.conf files include wacom device that doesn't exist.
In my xorg.conf (ati 9600) :

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver "wacom"
  Identifier "stylus"
  Option "Device" "/dev/wacom"
  Option "Type" "stylus"
  Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
  Driver "wacom"
  Identifier "eraser"
  Option "Device" "/dev/wacom"
  Option "Type" "eraser"
  Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
  Driver "wacom"
  Identifier "cursor"
  Option "Device" "/dev/wacom"
  Option "Type" "cursor"
  Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

It's not very important as it is working anyway but it's creating errors in log files.

What's generating these xorg.conf files?   Something Ubuntu-specific?

I don't know if it's Ubuntu specific. That's why i'm submitting this bug upstream.
It's anyway quite common in xorg detection in Ubuntu.

This is part of the xorg.conf generator in Ubuntu; please file a bug in Launchpad.  It will likely get rejected, however, if the only reasoning is cosmetic ...
