Mine "works," but I think it's the same problem you're taking about, where it just work's like a regular mouse and you loose the presure sensitivity and can't map it to the screan like you can in windows, so using it's a bit funky. If you have one of the actualy Waccom tablets I think there is a better driver out there somewhere (I found one a year or two ago) but it only works for the full size waccom and not for the graphire or graphire2.

During the instalation of mandrake, it seemed to work WAY batter than under knoppix, but I don'tknow for sure about after install because it won't boot afer install on my machine.
