That will disable your stylus.  You just did it as a test?  For custom
.conf files see:

Well looking at wacom_wac.c (a wacom.ko component in the kernel
/drivers/input/tablet) it appears the E6 has 2FGT:
static const struct wacom_features wacom_features_0xE6 =
	{ "Wacom ISDv4 E6",       WACOM_PKGLEN_TPC2FG,    27760, 15694,  255,
	  0, TABLETPC2FG, WACOM_INTUOS_RES, WACOM_INTUOS_RES,
	  .touch_max = 2 };

I don't know whether the X230t/E6 touchscreen hardware does
theoretically support more fingers or not.
