Hi, I'm new in Linux world so I hope you understand me:
always when I'm typing 'kdesu' command i get this errors:

X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169

Re: kdesu problem

If you're not using a wacom device, you need to comment out all the stuff in /etc/X11/xorg.conf regarding wacom drivers, by inserting "#" in front of the offending lines.

So, make your "ServerLayout" stanza look like this:

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier   "Default Layout"
  Screen   0 "Screen0" 0 0
  InputDevice  "Generic Keyboard"
  InputDevice  "Configured Mouse"
#  InputDevice  "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
#  InputDevice  "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
#  InputDevice  "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

Then scroll down and make these 3 stanzas look like this:

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

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

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

That will put an end to those bogus errors.

Re: kdesu problem

Great!

Those errors do not cause any problem, but they are scary to the new user, and annoying to the experienced user.
