All you need to do to get rid of those error messages is comment out the 
Wacom "InputDevice" sections of the ServerLayout.  You can leave the devices 
defined, but they won't do anything as long as they're not attached to the 
server.  Basically, you can do this with 3 #.

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier "Default Layout"
  screen 0 "Default Screen" 0 0
  InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
  InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
#  InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
#  InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
#  InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
  InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
