I can not reproduce this issue on my system.

As I understand (I can be wrong), Gimp Zoom in/out is supported through keys PageUp/PageDown and Up/Down arrows not by buttons 4,5,6,7. That's why I am working on keystroke and modifier support now. You can use Mats' ExpressKey program: http://freshmeat.net/projects/wacomexpresskeys/ to assign extra functions. > > * Both the Stylus and Eraser devices show an odd behavior.

I'll make the driver work as it was in relative mode to keep Gimp work properly, at least for single monitor setup.
