I wasn't sure what is meant by gfx tablet but I've been using a Wacom tablet 
for quite a while now (since Mandrake7.2). As of Mandrake8.2 they got 
autoconfigured at install time, and that includes Mdk10.0-beta1 I discovered 
today;)

I can only recommend (a serial) Wacom, they're expensive but worth every cent 
if you're planning to make more use of it than just a mouse substitute. The 
smaller, cheaper especially USB tablets are trouble prone with linux (this 
includes the AIPTEKS) and actually coarser to handle than a trackball for 
instance.

Of course the cheap ones will do fine as a mouse substitute, that's only click 
and point, heh:)

Good luck,
HarM
