I guess you are using relative mode with your devices.

It is the new change in linuxwacom made the difference. The change applies to relative mode fixing the pressure issue. However, applications that use tablet cordinates instead of system cursor postion to draw would have problem since driver don't report relative data any more (relative data causes issue to pressure). From driver's point of view, raw tablet data should be reported instead of relative data. Application could get the proper drawing position on the screen/window by cursor postion. Ignore what I said above if it is confusing to you. All I wanted to say is: Linux device driver and application developers need to work together to resolve this issue. It is not a pure driver issue.
