I have a serial wacom device on my tablet pc...
I was mislead by all this fdi stuff and thought that mine might be a USB one and all I needed to do was copy that fdi file...
I ended up copying an xorg.conf from gentoo wiki and had to delete a whole lot of font configuration and stuff like that to get it to work.
So, What we can do is provide a program in a package that that lists known hardware issues / configurations, lets us click the hardware, opens a text X session
and does the file copy for us / tweaks the xorg.conf, / does the riskier hardware probes for that specific hardware that we selected from the list.

I believe something like this already exists...
