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.
