But, please make a suggestion if you > do not like this one. it's hard to guess from here, do you have the Xorg.log that shows which input classes are applied? 50-joystick.conf should sort before 50-wacom.conf so the wacom-specific configuration should override any joystick configurations. Having said that, that depends on the device name - what is the name for the device?
