I think that will be useful, but let's get the standard, minimalist case
working first. That config snippet appears to give you separate input
devices for the writing and erasing parts of the tablet.

I've attached my best guess at what should be in that file.
I am fairly sure that what you're saying about X scanning for config
files in that order is correct. I would get rid of the
/etc/X11XF86Config file and just use the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Add
a symlink for good measure in case some application tries to write
config data to the wrong place. So, run this:
rm /etc/X11/XF86Config
ln -s /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config
Now, make a backup of the config file that's in place before you do
anything. You always want a way to roll back. Put the file I've attached
to this email in place of what you've got and restart X (killall X
should do the trick).
If either your tablet, or all of X fails to work, please make a copy of
/var/log/XFree86.0.log available for us to inspect. It will be a large
file, so I suggest putting it up on a website somewhere and posting a
link if that's possible. Otherwise, just send it to me directly I guess.
HTH,
James.
