Bug Description

Hi,
I have upgraded my thinkpad x41 tablet from intrepid to jaunty. Until the last updates in april everything runs fine.
But now I am not able to use the system longer.
If I start in normal mode I don't get the gdm login screen. I just see some color chaos. I can't switch to the console, I only can ssh into the maschine.
There dmesg contains the following things:

I found the problem at my side.
I had a file called /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-wacom.fdi which I copied in the past from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-wacom.fdi to the location in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ after removing the file from /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ gdm and X is starting well.

sorry for the change again.
If I use my attached xorg.conf I got the segfault again.
