I tried to use tablet for hand sketching (my first sketch, created under windows, tablet set to keep aspect ratio and mapped to part of the screen - see here: http://firszt.eu/PLD/draw.jpg ). Later I tried to do some sketches under linux (tablet mapped to whole screen) and the results were .... poor. I don't need any interaction with application from the wacom driver, but I want to move cursor/brush/whatever on the screen by 10mm when I move stylus on the tablet by 10mm. -- Przemo
