/dev/wacom: file not found, etc

[theas]

Hi, I'm a newbee. The following error I found in my Xorg.Ollog file:

(**) Option "Device" "/dev/wacom"
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wacom
   No such file or directory.
Error opening /dev/wacom : No such file or directory
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wacom
   No such file or directory.

   No such file or directory.

(II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded

However,  the xserver works fine; so nothing went wrong, sofar. I wonder if I can safely outcomment the statements about this device in my xorg.conf file:


Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "wacom"
  Identifier    "stylus"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/wacom"          # Change to
                                                      # /dev/input/event
                                                      # for USB
  Option        "Type"          "stylus"
  Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"               # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

EndSection

  Option        "Type"          "cursor"
  Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"               # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

But what the hell is a /dev/wacom?

Thanks for your replies!

Een wacom is een tekentablet. Je heb een a4 (of a3) 'touchscreen' waar je op kan tekenen met een speciale pen. Een invoerapparaat dus.
