After you upgraded to latest git, you did not re-patch wcmISDV4.cc to
force MaxZ to 254.  Can you do that and try gimp again?

Please realize that without this change that pressure of 127 to 254
will all equal 2048. Also, what did you end up setting your Threshold
to? Somewhere around 800?

Divide what ever that Threshold value is by 16.  Example: 800/16=50.
So this example means that only pressures of 50-127 are useful for
drawing.  A very small range indeed and very much shifted to light
pressure side.

If you change MaxZ=254 then it becomes 800/8=100 so 100-254 are valid
pressure ranges.  A much greater range.   You'll want to also adjust
your Threshold value down by 1/2 since Thresholds are different units
once the MaxZ=127 bug is fixed (the 16 vs 8 I mentioned).  So halving
to Threshold=400 would give you pressure ranges of 50-254.
