This works for me too.  I guess I can also assume that we could ignore just
one device by specifying MatchProduct with product ID, right?  All this is
for the next step with udev. Then my question is (sorry I have too many
questions :):

How does the current hal fdi work?  Can we let it ignore a vendor by
removing the fdi file?  Looks like (from my testing result) something will
pick the device up even if I totally remove the wacom fdi.
