Yes, exactly what it had.

That's what I was hoping. I'll maybe do another fresh install and check
from scratch again in a couple of days; the basic functions should work
out of the box without having manually edit xorg.conf...

I'll not expect too much of that for now then. Needing to be plugged in
on boot is not as good as hotplugging properly, but for most users most
of the time it is good enough as we don't often change tablets. (By the
way, I noticed links for /dev/input/wacom and /dev/input/[specific
device type name]. Might this allow the use of multiple devices one
day? Or is it intended for auto-configuring the features and quirks of
individual devices?)
