Hi Jose --

Right now there's no support for the STU series of tablets with
linuxwacom. It might be recognized as a HID device though, in which
case you might give the evdev or synaptics driver a try. I'm not very
familiar with the STU-500, but I think it streams pen data to the
system in real-time like other tablets meaning any image editor (e.g.
Gimp) should be capable of capturing signatures. Also, I'm unsure if
the tablet's screen will work under Linux; from what I understand, the
display is entirely under the control of the host system.
