Comment 28 for bug 355340

Just some food for thought:
If xsetwacom can get to the devices (and therefore wacomcpl) I don't think it would matter if the device is a hal sub-device or not. As long as you run the file wacomcpl creates (~/.xinitrc) as a session (or as jaunty calls them "startup applications") it should keep calibration and options on reboot. I will report back as soon as I get home to test this out. This looks like a wonderful idea!
