ODDie is basically correct. It turns out to be an error in the linux- input kernel commit for the Bamboo Pen in wacom_wac.c. The pressure is erroneously set to 255 instead of 1023:
static const struct wacom_features wacom_features_0xD4 = { "Wacom Bamboo Pen", WACOM_PKGLEN_BBFUN, 14720, 9200, 255, 63, BAMBOO_PT }; A submission correcting the mistake will be made shortly to linux-input. In the meantime on Natty you could use the wacom.ko from input-wacom. HOW TO compile and install it is described on the Bamboo P&T HOW TO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515562 or the Linux Wacom Project mediawiki site. Or you could use Irie Shinsuke's PPA which uses input-wacom and is linked on the HOW TO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xf86-input-wacom in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786952 Title: Wacom Bamboo Pen - Pressure too sensitive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-input-wacom/+bug/786952/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
