Did anyone reply to this? Anyway, yes, they work. Probably the
serial version is a bit safer than the USB, but the USB version can
also be got to work. The issue is that you needs a kernel which
supports USB (a 2.2 kernel with the backport, say), and the USB
XFree86 driver is less mature than the serial Wacom driver, so you can
expect a few problems (there's a known staircase effect in the code
that does smoothing, for example). The wheel on the mouse works as
you'd expect, so for £75 or so, you get a cordless wheeled mouse
together with a decent pen.
