Is there any multi-touch graphics tablet with Linux drivers?

After watching the absolutely amazing 10/GUI video, I have been dying to try to implement something like this. I can do the software side quite easily, but I don't have the hardware.

"The Linux Wacom Project supports the Wacom Bamboo and Bamboo Fun tablets, which have multi-touch.

I ordered a Bamboo Pen and Touch and it works great with the latest drivers, but I had to compile it myself since it's not in Ubuntu's repositories yet."

"You can code it as a Compiz plugin like this one:

Alternatively you can follow what is being done in the ""official"" Linux community (Ubuntu, Red Hat etc) by using the MPX+multitouchd driver to the Xorg."
