Heh, I think it'll take a bit longer unless I'll just skip most of the 
drivers. Proto's and libs first, then the server and the core drivers. 
That should do.

Well, wacom has been fixed recently, see the announcement for 0.10.1. 
Julien said on #d-x that there are still some shortcomings about the udev 
patch:

17:39 < jcristau> one thing i don't have with the udev code is replacement
   for hal's input.touchpad from the udev rule, so i could say 'hey,
   that's a touchpad, let's load synaptics'
17:40 < jcristau> i guess i could call out to a script which would look at
   whatever capabilities are exposed in /sys for the device and
   figure out what to do from that.
