Unless I am mistaken there is a 'tablet' object distributed with GEM? I do not have GEM on my machine now so i cannot say for certain, but I am pretty sure I can remember playing around with it once?

on linux that is very easy. basically, you just need to read out the usb event device. that is for example /dev/usb/event0 (but thats on my machine)
the event interface is really simple, it gives out the raw events of a usb hid device, like "pen move absolute 100", of course all as numbers, not ascii. its just a packet of int's for each event-message.
you may take a look at the usb object i started for jmax, as this just reads that event device.
of course you need to have a kernel with usb, hid and event support (or have them as modules)
