If you want to get rid of those errors then you need to remove (or
comment out) references to wacom in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Comment out the sections with:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"

and these at the end
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"


Then you need to restart the X server and the errors should go away.
