XExtension Device

Dear all,

I recently installed CentOS 6 in one on my computers. CentOS 6 comes 
with X.Org X Server 1.10.4 as shown in the log file.
I noticed many changes with the previous version or xorg, but my main 
problem now, is the Extension Devices configuration.

I have a wacom tablet connected through port USB. The piece of xorg.conf 
related is:

Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier     "WACOM_TABLET"
     Driver         "wacom"
     Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
     Option         "USB" "on"
#    Option         "SendCoreEvents" "off"
     Option         "Floating" "on"
     Option         "Type" "Stylus"
     Option         "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection

I commented out the former 'SendCoreEvents' option since I read 
somewhere this option was changed for 'Floating'. But even when
I set this option, and I see is recognized in the log file, as:

[229352.620] (II) Using input driver 'wacom' for 'WACOM_TABLET'
[229352.620] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so
[229352.620] (**) Option "Floating" "on"
[229352.620] (**) WACOM_TABLET: doesn't report core events
[229352.620] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
[229352.642] (EE) PreInit returned 8 for "WACOM_TABLET"
[229352.642] (II) UnloadModule: "wacom"
[229352.642] (II) Unloading wacom

I noticed the line '(EE) PreInit returned 8 for "WACOM_TABLET"' which 
might be the focus of the problem.

How to configure my wacom tablet as an extension device?
How to make the preInit line error disappear?

thank you very much in advance.


Pascual.
