I've been using an ugly grape-coloured Wacom Graphire (ET-0405-U) tablet
as my main pointer HID since I got fed up with constantly replacing the
batteries in my mouse. Works fine with Ubuntu; haven't needed to install
or even configure anything yet. Pressure sensitivity and stylus tip tool
switching in The Gimp.
Old model though... no clue about the Graphire4.
