I've used the nvidia drivers with FC3 and FC4 with a lot of success.  You
could try it in a test environment, build the kernel module and xorg module
and distribute that and the libs that get replaced using rdist or rsync to
your other workstations (or to one other workstation in a test environment). 

They are a binary only module and therefore have little support from RH but
you may be able to get support from nvidia as well.  

Unfortunately I've not used the tablet so that and its drivers are unknowns
to me.

Hope that helps.
