Bugs 259035 and 272536 have some more info, and are probably duplicates of this one and vice versa.

259035 in particular has more info about X crashing when you unplug the tablet and it seems that someone has tried the latest development version of xserver-xorg-input-wacom, 0.8.1-4. The notes for this say it only supports kernel 2.6.26 anyway (http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=612404&group_id=69596).

I added the sections that Markus suggested to xorg.conf, but the only difference I found is that the cursor unfreezes faster when I move the pen away from the tablet.

@kalibur: at first I had the same problem as you ie X not booting after I modified xorg.conf, but it was because I had forgotten to include the 'Section "Input Device"' for stylus. (Xorg.log reported that it didn't recognise the stylus device.)
