- drop custom config:
(please wacom using folks review this part and think
about how to get it back if its important to you)
- put default config shipping with xf86_input_wacom
into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
which seems to be interpreted again when
devices are hot plugged
- when starting x11, also provide xinput
.. you never know when you need it
This fixes all problems I had:
- device only worked when plugged in, then xorg was started
(an alternative quick fix is switching to terminal by ctrl-alt-F1 and back)
- I had to disable some devices, because eg myaint switched input
device many times a sec rendering it unusable otherwise, some of those devices
configured did not work.

See 12 -> HAL or xorg.conf.d
To be honest, it's more like "be less discriminating against USB tablets".
USB tablets usually get autodetected, device name is not necessary and defaulting to a serial touchscreen is a clear discrimination.
Unconditionally remapping buttons is generally not a good idea either.
Old defaults transformed into examples.
Note that the Multitouch X Driver currently has no configuration beyond editing the source code, so the only option is enable or disable

synaptics driver for all touchpads (unless the "dev" option is set).
* Get rid of some synaptics options: SHMConfig, Repeater (obsolete);
*Edge (usually auto-detected), Protocol (use auto-detect instead).

Setting to the synaptics default speeds the speeds I like. I think we were having
defaults still from the time the values meant some different speeds.
The 'synclient' program now does not work, but the 'xinput' program (xorg.xinput)
can modify in runtime the touchpad settings too.
