Not only wacom! There are other tablets too (not as good, I know).

yep making intuos 3 work was almost plug and play but I think user should not be forced to edit config files trying to get everything to work. Opensuse has yast where you can edit your tablets settings but there isn't graphical option available in ubuntu afaik. I still don't know how to make touch strips and buttons to work?

If I understand things correctly, there's good and bad news for this:
Good news is that this should work automagically once hotplugging is completed and the wacom driver supports xorg 7.3.
Bad news is that noone knows when this is gonna be. Driver has some kind of hack fix for 7.3 that is unreliable and hotplugging does not yet deal with tablets that I know of. Not a high priority I guess.

Last week I got to try a Bamboo tablet to work. I followed a thread on Ubuntuforums, but still I didn't succeed in getting it to work.
This was the tutorial (can't attach it to this idea though: URL seems invaldid)

Under 7.10 all I had to do is uncomment the tablet in xorg.conf but in 8.04 I'm having a hard time installing the tablet.
