Commenting out Wacon, Eraser, Stylus, Cursor Still Kills X

This is the 3rd or 4th time I commented out the above 3 input sections, 
including the ServerLayout section, and each time it kills X after 
saving and restarting X or rebooting. I must be doing
something wrong but, don't know what it is. Below is the modified
xorg.conf sections so maybe someone can tell me what is wrong:

Section "InputDevice"
#       Driver          "wacom"
#       Identifier      "stylus"
#       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
#       Option          "Type"          "stylus"
#       Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"         # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
#       Driver          "wacom"
#       Identifier      "eraser"
#       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
#       Option          "Type"          "eraser"
#       Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"         # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
#       Driver          "wacom"
#       Identifier      "cursor"
#       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
#       Option          "Type"          "cursor"
#       Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"         # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

<snip>

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

I lose my output errors when I reload the original xorg.conf but there 
is an error on line 68 which says to the effect that an input section is 
needed.  Well, I see one there but line 68 is one of the EndSections 
entries. there is also an error below the line 68 error to the effect 
that it can't find the display, display nos, etc.  Sorry, for not having 
the exact error output but am not doing it again unless someone asks for 
it. I think the error, if not a bug, will be in the above data as it's 
the only changes I made.  Appreciate any help. If I'm missing something, 
I can't put my finger on it.
Thanks,
