Okay, I found the way to manage xorg.conf config under lucid.
Lucid doesn't have /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, the correct directory is /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

Inside this directory resides 05-evdev.conf file with evdev driver
properties/configuration.

I just edited /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-evdev.conf adding this
section:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "eGalax"
        MatchProduct "eGalax"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "SwapAxes" "on" #<- This is optional!
        Option  "Calibration"           "415 3906 406 3862"
EndSection

I rebooted and voilá, it worked! :D

Now let's take a look on /var/log/Xorg.0.log

...

You can notice the "eGalax" InputClass is applied, appearing Option
"SwapAxes" "on", the Calibration option doesn't appear.

But device still detected as a tablet, not as a touchscreen. Also still
appearing 2 devices. On one device driver apply tablet InputClass
(detected as a tablet), and the other the pointer InputClass (detected
as a mouse).

Now, how to correct this last one?
