Re: is it a input problem?

I get that error also. The way I solved it is to edit the xorg.conf file and remove the following lines:

Section "InputDevice"
 Driver    "wacom"
 Identifier  "stylus"
 Option    "Device"    "/dev/wacom"     # Change to
                           # /dev/input/event
                           # for USB
 Option    "Type"     "stylus"
 Option    "ForceDevice"  "ISDV4"        # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
 Driver    "wacom"
 Identifier  "eraser"
 Option    "Device"    "/dev/wacom"     # Change to
                           # /dev/input/event
                           # for USB
 Option    "Type"     "eraser"
 Option    "ForceDevice"  "ISDV4"        # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
 Driver    "wacom"
 Identifier  "cursor"
 Option    "Device"    "/dev/wacom"     # Change to
                           # /dev/input/event
                           # for USB
 Option    "Type"     "cursor"
 Option    "ForceDevice"  "ISDV4"        # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

and

    InputDevice   "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice   "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice   "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
