Of course you can ask. Nothing about this makes me impatient or tired at
all. I find it rather fun to write at the newbie level, since it allows
to remember what it's like not knowing.

In configuration files such as xorg.conf, things are divided into
sections, using that word itself: Section [something]. What follows that
heading in each section is indented lines which belong to that section.
At the end, it says: EndSection.

Notice in your editor showing xorg.conf, about half way down you see the
following sections:

------------
Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "wacom"
  Identifier    "stylus"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/wacom"          # Change to
                                                      # /dev/input/event
                                                      # for USB
  Option        "Type"          "stylus"
**Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"               # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "wacom"
  Identifier    "eraser"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/wacom"          # Change to
                                                      # /dev/input/event
                                                      # for USB
  Option        "Type"          "eraser"
**Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"               # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "wacom"
  Identifier    "cursor"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/wacom"          # Change to
                                                      # /dev/input/event
                                                      # for USB
  Option        "Type"          "cursor"
**Option        "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"               # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Look at the terms which appear in section. Where I have placed two
asterisks at the beginning of the line, on that line you will see the
identifier "ISDV4" in the line.

Does that help your understanding?
