I'm certain Wacom tablets are natively supported. In fact, I have a control panel for them on my stock 12.04 Desktop install.

Solution 2

I have a wacom tablet.

It works as a mouse, perfectly.

Also, gimp (and other drawing programs) have support for it

I was wondering if digital drawing boards (Handwriting Tablets, Pen Tablets, Drawing Tablets, Graphics Tablets) are supported in Ubuntu for presentations, pointing devices and normal drawing. For example:

The reason I ask is for some video tutorials I am making and it would make my life a little easier to explain some stuff while drawing it.

  can you post details of which specific drawing tablet you have? Many are supported.

  Wacom Bamboo series for example, The Vistablets or DigiPro. Any tablet that includes a pen to digitally write with. At the moment I have those in mind.
