# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf(5) manual page.

It looks like for some reason or another, X is trying to load up /dev/input/wacom as an input device. Do you have more than one xorg.conf in /etc/X11 somehow? It seems like its getting to the wacom device and failing because it's not there. You may want to completely get rid of any reference to anything you're not using to avoid it trying to load anyway.
