> Here is my xorg.conf:
Okay, do this:
1. Open a konsole (Alt-F2, konsole), then type these commands:
cd /etc/X11
sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.oops
sudo kedit xorg.conf
(Note: If not kedit then kwrite or kate.)

2. Remove the following sections:

> Section "InputDevice"
>   Driver        "wacom"
>   Identifier    "stylus"
>   Option        "Device"        "/dev/wacom"          # Change to
>                                                       # /dev/input/event
>                                                       # for USB
>   Option        "Type"          "stylus"
>   Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"               # Tablet PC ONLY
> EndSection
>
> Section "InputDevice"
>   Driver        "wacom"
>   Identifier    "eraser"
>   Option        "Device"        "/dev/wacom"          # Change to
>                                                       # /dev/input/event
>                                                       # for USB
>   Option        "Type"          "eraser"
>   Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"               # Tablet PC ONLY
> EndSection

> Section "InputDevice"
>   Driver        "wacom"
>   Identifier    "cursor"
>   Option        "Device"        "/dev/wacom"          # Change to
>                                                       # /dev/input/event
>                                                       # for USB
>   Option        "Type"          "cursor"

> EndSection

3. Save the file; close the editor.
4. Save all other work you are doing, K->Log Out.
5. Restart the session (i.e. just run KDE again, don't restart the whole 
machine -- there's no need)
6. At the login screen, press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reboot X.
7. Login and try your camera again -- the error *should* be gone.
8. If all hell breaks loose, then you have a backup of xorg.conf and you can 
restore the original with:
cd /etc/X11
sudo rm xorg.conf
sudo mv xorg.conf.oops xorg.conf
(Note: You may have to restart the machine at this point.)
