Uhm... The support is there.  You just need to compile gtk with the --with-xinput configure option to get it

Jeremy,

still following the list, so may be able to help at a later date...

seems that the main issue is gtk support and the gtk developers are keen on native support
little understanding as possible on my part....

Yeah, but that scrollwheel should be mapped to buttons 3/4 like the mouse scroll wheel...

Some tablets have a scroll "wheel" (like most mice do these days).
Actually, the scroll mechanism is usually a trackpad ("touchstrip"),
but it serves the same purpose.

Tilt is 3&4... and it looks to me like 5 is somehow labled "wheel" ...
though I'm not exactly sure what that means...

Could you run 'xinput test 7' and tell me what axis 2-5 are for?

It gives me that :

me@ubuntu:~# xinput test 7
motion a[0]=4225 a[1]=2898 a[2]=0 a[3]=0 a[4]=0 a[5]=0
(...)

When I "touch" the tablet with the stylus :
button press   1 a[0]=7803 a[1]=4348 a[2]=53 a[3]=0 a[4]=0 a[5]=0
then :
button release 1 a[0]=7794 a[1]=4350 a[2]=0 a[3]=0 a[4]=0 a[5]=0

So 2 is the pressure. But for 3 to 5 : always 0.

I've saw that : http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/faq
"Note, tilt is only supported with protocol V tablets, which include
Intuos series and Cintiq 21UX to date (Nov. 9, 2006). Any other
tablets don't have tilt no matter you have the tilt option in your
xorg.conf or not."

So maybe my tablet can't handle tilt... (I've put the tilt option in
the xorg.conf) (It's the "graphire 4", A6, bought for 90 euros end
2006)

I 'd like someone to
please verify this for me by sshing into their Mac OSX box from their
linux
box and running /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gimp-2.4
...
you should notice that it doesn't like your tablet.  If you could test
Inkscape in this manor as well, I'd appreciate it...

I don't use the "Gimp.app" but the "macports" gimp. And I've no linux
box to test (I use linux on the mac) maybe with VMWare Fusion it can
work. I'll try, I've Fedora 9 64bits installed.

I'm happy that tablet support will come in GIMP & Inkscape, it's the
"main" problem for me with "nix" programs on OSX !
