Well, I also picked up a drawing pad very cheap ($50).  I've been moving pretty
slow on writing a driver for it but I figure it should be fairly easy to make it
work to some degree with any program that will take mouse input.  The tablet
I have can be set to delta mode so I could simply install a handler in the
input chain read the serial port and translate the delta movements into mouse
movement packets.  Once I get that working maybe I can come up with something
fancier.  I should think that you could do something like this with your tablet
as well which will give it at least some functionality with any paint program.
