I was out at the yard sales this last week and found this item marked $20 got it for $15.
The pen uses a small AAA battery and when I plug it in the device automatically is registered as some kind of mouse or pointer in 12.04. But I can't seem to get it to access any of the features like;
I did try a driver called "Wizard Pen" but that didn't seem to make any new settings and when I drew a line it was very jagged. So I removed "Wizard Pen". Seems to be tons of drivers for Wacom. But I can't find a single one for Genius. So maybe if someone knows how I can get access to the other features this would be cool. It is pretty cool that it works as much as it does without supporting software. I plan to experiment with some windows stuff under WINE.
Later!
btw...
I also did this in terminal window;
Edit: More info
Really no one has any clues?
Well this is what I figured out on my own:
So I am going to add it to my xorg and try to use a wacom driver.
Wish me luck!

- pressure sensivity tip
- two buttons on the pen itself
- programable "hot spots" on the pad
