Hard to say, Xorg hasn't announced a release date. I had hoped to see
some release candidates of it from them by now.

Bryce, no sorry, I don't have any good workarounds, just kludges that
are all fairly obvious. This isn't an area I know much about but I do
feel that the lowering of the priority from medium to low will lessen
the effort other more knowledgeable people put in to come up with a good
workaround.
Ralph, do you have a proposal for a workaround?

Bryce: it isn't merely cosmetic. There are many users who are having
problems and when it's suggested they do something like gksu ... they
report back that they got errors and it's purely down to these incorrect
lines. The amount of wasted *volunteer* effort and disgruntled new
users is not
Great WorkAround!
Works well for me. The error popped up with all sorts of applications.
My system is KUBUNTU 7.04.

Making the dexconf conditional on the presence of /dev/input/wacom is
actually pretty simple (see attached patch).
However, as others point out in this and other wacom threads, this
obviously would break things for wacom users who did not have their
wacom attached when they boot the system, so
Dropping priority from Med to Low since it seems to merely be cosmetic.
The fix for this will depend on xserver 1.4's input hotplugging, plus support
added to xorg-server-input-wacom.

As I believe I noted earlier, these lines *do not* enable support for
tablets by default. They only add support for a few tablet PCs.
Tablets aren't supported by Ubuntu by default, and getting them working
is actually rather annoying.

Wacom devices are not just Tablet PC overlays, there are also cheap
standalone tablets. I think it is bearable to check whether a tablet is
connected to RS232 port at startup once, and if it is there, then add to
the file.
For native USB devices and USB-RS232 adapters, some sort of hotplugging
There is a new wacom-tools in feisty now, and the device paths have been
changed to /dev/input/wacom. This should make tablets work out-of-the
box, but the dexconf trick is still needed, since when
installing/configuring X you don't necessarily have the device connected
so probing doesn't work.
If you have a tablet PC it's always connected.
And IMHO the best solution would be plug'n play as the rest of linux does
with hotplug. Device adding/removal shold be detected and the config file
should be adjusted. This is also good for people who attach the tablet after
installing. Its not

An additional problem with these unnecessary config lines is that they
generate errors which unfamiliar users report when trying to diagnose
bugs with other programs, often obscuring the real problem and
preventing easy resolution.
Nice to have support for tablets and track pads, bad to have it
I can confirm this bug is very annoying and might make it into the
Feisty Fawn release, because i have seen this output on a pre release
daily snapshot from 22.march 07

No, I don't have an answer either as to why the wacom-devices are

Thanks, was scanning for Xorg, but you are right, there is an XSwat team.
However, the 'Here is a list of us' is empty:

Guess you should add yourself there, as you seems quite active on Xorg package.
