Seems like he didn't understand your question. "Resolved for all input 
devices" means input-hotplug which is used as you know.. The problem is 
just that wacomdrv doesn't have the options or infrastructure to configure 
stylus/eraser/pad all in one go. HAL/input-hotplug/xserver can't do that 
for the driver.

Seems like some work is happening, but so far no comments from Ping:
