Solved :-)
I post the solution for those who have Ubuntu like me and get that error
opening GUI applications fron console.
You must edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (as root) and comment (put the
'#' at the beginning) all the lines of all the sections regarding the
"wacom" device".
You can try to follow this guide (it's in italian but you can translate
it using Google or similars :-)):
