You will have much better luck with the tablet using GNU/Linux.
It'll work right now with Pd, and if you know how to mess with your X
config, you can stop the wacom from acting as a mouse quite easily.

I had the idea to use such a tablet on Windows, but it seems
impossible, because the WinXP wants to treat the device like a mouse.
Obviously, we just want position data from it in Pure Data, but we
want the OS to ignore the data and use the regular mouse.
Am I missing something? Is this possible on Win?
Alternately, I do have an old PIII laptop with Debian installed, and
it seems that PD-extended is running on there fine. Would I have
better luck using the tablet this way in Linux? I still don't really
understand how Linux works or deals with devices though, so I'd be a
total newbie at trying to get this running.

There is a test version of [hidio] working on Windows, including
output support. We are working on making a release.
But Wacoms will only be supported by [hidio] on GNU/Linux because on
Windows and Mac OS X, you have to install the Wacom drivers, which do
not use the HID API, but instead their own custom API.
