I concur. I had to do so to get the video on an old Armada 7800 working with X on 8.xx Ubuntu.

I got my daughter a Wacom Bamboo tablet for Christmas. It works, and we

buttons on the Bamboo that don't seem to do anything in linux. The
configuration information on the intertubes seems to be obsolete, like
2005ish. X is no longer configured with etc/X11/xorg.conf apparently.
This
is on Ubuntu 8.10.
X still uses /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but most distros rely on X's
autoamgic to guess config, but if you put in a valid xorg.conf, it
should respect it.
