Well, sort of. The stylus becomes less responsive, for some reason. For example, if I draw a series of consecutive lines, every third or fourth one will not appear, as if the stylus has stopped working or something.

I Use Ubuntu 11.04 and Gimp 2.6.11 and I don't experience these problems with my Wacom Bamboo One, it works fine with pressure.

Mine was fine too. I'm asking for help to figure out how to debug why that changed.

That's good. Do the buttons work?

Not really, I haven't been able to figure out how to configure that in GIMP. I don't understand how the "Axes" and "Keys" tabs of the Configure Extended Input Devices" work.

Anyone knows?

Don't expect that I can help, but have you explored the idea that it could be X11 related rather than gimp?

You could try using your tablet w/ krita or mypaint, both of which have good support for wacom devices and pressure. If those fail in the same way then look at X11, (or Ubuntu and its derivitives in general) as the source of the problem

Also try your tablet using a live cd/dvd of your prefered distro to see if the problem occurs there as well.

Or consider the case that there may be a hardware problem with the tablet. Try another tablet, or try the tablet on another machine with Windows or MacOS.

You might also want to try browsing the archives of the wacom list, then maybe join that list and ask for help there.

I'm on that list, and indeed, asking for help there lead to me finding that when I upgraded to Natty, xserver-xorg-input-wacom didn't upgrade and was lost. I just had to reinstall it and everything started working.
