I am using my wacom tablet exclusively with xfree4.0 (and the beta before),
and I never had such problems ;)

the only "problems" I have is that the pressure is not adjustable: the
minimum pressure that counts as a click has a non-zero pressure, which
means that I can't access the full gradient/pressure/opacity range since
the first (say) 20% of the range does not count as clicked.

But thats minor.

 snipped...
 BTW: Does somebody use XFree 4.0 with a wacom tablet? Sometimes I
 believe, that firm pressing the pen results in no more motion events...

Is it "no more motion events", or is it *so many* motion events that
the Gimp becomes paralyzed in processing the backlog?

And is this problem always observed, or only when the "Perfect but
Slow" preference choice is made?

I do use Wacom Intuos, currently with the Wacom driver developed for
SGI platforms, and I frequently find the apparent freezing of the Gimp
is due to paralysis. When mapped to the screen, it subdivides that rectangle
to very high resolution, implying *many more* events for a given stroke
than if the screen pointer device was being used. Such phenomenon should
be generally observable, not just with SGI. I'm wondering if this is a case
of that.

Thank you for the clarification.

Be good, be well

 Are you using XFree86 3.9.x or 4.0?

Ah yes, this might be the problem... Any ideas?

XmbTextEscapement() in libX11 of XF86 3.9.x and later seems to
return bogus value with particular fontsets. So you should back
to 3.3.6 for temporary solution.
