I think the problem is that our xserver.conf does not include
xf86-input-wacom to its search path; see (gnu services xorg).

Could you try adding it there and reconfiguring from tree (using
‘./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure’)?

We should add it there, but the best thing would obviously be to make
the Xorg driver list configurable.

Thanks!
