Things improved after

sudo apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-video-all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I no longer get the "(EE) no devices detected" error.

Appending wacom sections to generated xorg.conf made stylus work. This
is my current xorg.conf:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

There are still problems with xournal, however. It seems to buffer some
input for a long time and loose some input.
