- 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.
