What is the most current workaround for hotplug?

Hi, I'm trying to find a workaround for hotplugging my Wacom Graphire4 tablet. I tried the two suggestions on the FAQ. First I tried the "press Ctrl + Alt + F1 together then release them (screen turns
to console); and press Ctrl + Alt + F7 together then release them" instructions, but my tablet did not begin functioning after switching back to a graphical session. I then tried to set up wdaemon, but it seemed to be incomplete, and there was no documentation that went with it. 
Could someone please tell me what is the most current workaround to get hotplug working? It would be great if there was a solution other than restarting X.
Please let me know. Thanks.

Jake
