  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
  
  On Jaunty,
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:	9.04

  I've a little USB volito Wacom and a big serial Intuos (GD-0912-R) graphics tablets, connected via serial<->USB adapter (my computer doesn't have serial port).
  
  The second one is sold really cheap by windows users because there are
  no more supported on their systems.
  
  USB volito hotplug works perfectly, nothing to configure in X.org.
  USB-serial cable + serial wacom hotplug doesn't work.
  I need to configure the device in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  The problem is if the wacom is plugged before the system boot, it's not detected, and as hotplug doesn't work, I can't plug it after X.org has booted.
  If the device isn't present at X.org starting, I've a text screen giving me several solution to fallback from X.org failure.
  Then I've to plug the device just after Linux kernel boot, but before X.org start.
  
  If X.org could hotplug detect it, it could be better.
  
  My USB<=>serial cable device is :
  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 099a:7160 Zippy Technology Corp. 
  
  It is well detected if usbserial mod is loadad :
