 work with Gentoo.

Tha tablet part of this ought to be straightforward.  I have a Wacom
Graphire USB tablet working with several machines including PPC,
Core2duo  x86.  I have the tablet configured in xorg.conf (have not
tried with hal).  There is info on the wiki:

If my old (weak) memory serves me correctly,
some time back several folks where discussing getting writing tablets to
work with Gentoo. Once you get working, I'd think there are several
approaches to an interactive desktop to use with the tablet. So a search 
of this subject on this list might be a good place to start?


You could check on the embedded-gentoo user group to see if any
of those guys have some working hardware for a tablet or such.
