I have a Wacom Graphire USB that also 'just works' with the X drivers. It
replaces my ps/2 mouse. the Graphire mouse works fine, and it saves space. To
get pressure/eraser functions, you need to install the Wacom drivers, the X
drivers only give basic functionality. See
http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~flepied/projects/wacom/, and be sure to
cruise the list archives. The list is low-volume, but very helpful.
