You can turn it off with an environment variable. From the release notes:
If you don't want GEM to take control of the tablet if it finds one, set the environment variable GEM_NO_TABLET to the value "1" (no quotes of course). There will be a print out if GEM finds the environment variable.
Later, Mark

Hi Mark, hi list,
I just ran into difficulties using gem (0.84) and my drawing tablet (acecad DigiPadII cordless) on WinNT 4.0 (with pd 0.32-1). When I start pd the tablet sort of blocks: it is no longer possible to move the mouse-arrow on the screen. When I close pd (using the mouse or keyboard) everythings works well again. Gem reports: GEM: connected to tablet. Running pd without gem does not cause this problem...
Any ideas, hints, bug warnings... ? Or do I just need to download latest versions?
Thanks, Olaf
