We shipped a wacom driver with Xorg 6.9 and earlier releases, but
X.Org dropped that driver in Xorg 7.0 and later since it was
unmaintained, and all the BSD & Linux distros had switched to the
linuxwacom driver instead. Unfortunately, we can't ship that
driver with OpenSolaris, since it's GPL and would thus conflict
with the closed source licenses on other modules loaded into the
Xserver, but I did see someone (Albert Lee I think) checked in a
SFE spec file for it recently.
