Thanks for all the info! I have solved the pressure problem by setting the pressure curve of all the devices (in xorg.conf) to 50,0,100,50. I don't know what the numbers stand for, but I took the setting for a firm stroke from the official documentation (5,0,100,95) and simply made it extreme. Opacity is now perfectly smooth and controllable.
The stroke quality seems fine in Martin Renold's mypaint program (a great array of brush settings in there), so I'm blaming GIMP for both that and the gapped strokes. It could be argued that GIMP is not going to be as efficient as Photoshop due to being made by programmers in their spare time, but take note: GIMP used to be fine with speed, and it works on my friend's much slower computer! Should I submit this as a bug report? Thanks, Raeth On 5/2/06, Jose Hevia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I have some experience both in Linux and Windows camps, and I can say that obviously there are differences between a more than 300$ software/unit and the Gimp. The Gimp is maintained by people that doesn't receive money from his work so they have not so much time to put into the program. Gimp is not a professional app because of this. If someone were to put money over the table maybe thinks will change, but not today. My Thoughts over linux wacom drivers: There are filters applied to the Windows drivers output that are not applied to the linux one. This filters make the trace smooth, but can destroy information too. I made a program that could run in Windows and Linux to get tablet info. This info is basically the same.(The programs over it as I said earlier not). So, until some companies start to sell to Linux(Xara?), we won't have good tablet Linux quality apps (It could never happen). Maybe it's as easy to add a graphical tool to calibrate easily the sensibility of the tablet(Gtk or Qt) and another one to install and uninstall into X, but someone has to do it (or put the money).I know, I know, they are a lot of more things to do, but this is what make it unpractical to those non programmers(artists) that are not going-don't want to modify a text file.
