Well... One, but I don't think you'll like it.. You'll have to modify mouseemu 
so it will support absolute events and tablets, as far as I can see it 
doesn't today (version 0.16). The relative events that (for some models) are 
generated in the wacom kernel module are only for the mouse scoll-wheel...

Once you've done that you will probably hit another snag. Once wacom_drv have 
opened the tablet device no other application will receive any movement data 
from the device. This *is* the correct behavior from the X-driver as 
applications that uses the stylus/... directly will act odd otherwise (at 
least what I've seen).

I had planned to poke around in the second problem a few weeks from now, but 
don't let that stop you from trying yourself.

Happy hacking!
