I had the same problem as Dave MG. I know about computers, I program them, but I the fdi files are not my area of interest, I didn't know what they meant either. So Alexia, you had been very helpful with me too(and the people that will read this in the future).

I had an xorg file that worked fine in feisty, but it made my 800x1200(portrait or rotated mode) to display an 800x600 one(error recovery mode) because X had errors understanding wacom options. I created a new slim xorg file with dexconf and it worked, but if I try to include the wacom configuration it makes x to load ErrorRM again.

It seems like if I only include sections "Inputdevice" it needs a ServerLayout, an if I include the {Section "ServerLayout"}of feisty, X crashes. The serverlayout was also the problem in the initial xconf file.

Well, I don't like changing "general configuration" files on ubuntu. Every time I update the automatic configuration doesn't work(Your XXX file has changed.Do you want to replace it...).

Now, my tablet hotplugging works, but I simply want to rotate the tablet, so the aspect ratio of the screen is the same as the tablet, as I did in feisty. How can I do that without playing xorg files.

With feisty I had the device "stylus" that I could rotate with xsetwacom.

Today, with xsetwacom I see:
$$xsetwacom list
SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad touch

I can't see stylus, or eraser, so I can't rotate it.
