As the numbers of /dev/input/event* are assigned on the fly, i.e.
different devices may have different numbers when the system is
restarted. Your tablet may be event3 now and event2 after a reboot.
Thus, using /dev/input/eventX in your X configuration may not be the
best idea. 

That is why the wacom tools create the special device /dev/input/wacom:
so you know which entry under /dev/input/ corresponds to your tablet.
