No, it supports all three.  Works quite well for new X drivers.  If you 
search the wacom-devel archives you'll find a link to the docs for the 
Wacom driver.

It does kind of suck though that you have to manually configure your X 
server.  I looked at a number of tablets and they all seem to be serial 
or undocumented.
