For various reasons, we can't provide an xorg.conf for your device by default; chiefly, KDE absolutely HATES it when a device is listed in xorg.conf but not present. I have no idea why it cares, but it does.
On a related note, I've got a Nvidia card capable of driving three displays: One SVideo and two over DVI-I ports. Unfortunately the vendor's binary drivers removed the capacity for driving that third display, limiting TwinView to just that - Twin Views. I'll come back with more details later to see if there's a solution, but I'd like to point out that the nvidia-settings app that controls xorg and its config can make on-the-fly changes to which configured screen is activated, among other things (resolution etc). I regularly have to disable my second monitor to enable my TV-out - takes all of 15-20s, and goes away on the next X restart.

On a Free note, all cards actually supported by X.org can be reconfigured on- the-fly with standard tools including vanilla KDE 4.

Yeah, that's not what I was getting at. I wasn't one hundred percent clear but what I was trying to say is that the limitation of the newly flawed Nvidia drivers that limited them to activating no more than two of its three displays at a time may have a positive impact if the user must regularly connect and reconnect the Wacom tablet. If the X server is incapable of driving more than two devices at once, it might side step the KDE issues that were mentioned before. Maybe not, but it's worth a shot, given similar hardware and assuming this tablet is a display and not a pure input device.
