 Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, mythtv 0.20.1,  installed using Synaptic package
 manager, error experienced by users who didn't have admin privileges on
 the box.

 This is the error I get when starting the app by typing in mythtv.


 '''X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
   Major opcode:  147
   Minor opcode:  3
   Resource id:  0x0
 Failed to open device
 X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169

 and then nothing happens.

 I fixed it by eliminating all references to the WACOM tablet in my
 xorg.conf, and the corresponding stylus, curson & eraser in the server
 section.
