    well, so far the worst thing I'm finding is that (while I have a wide screen & dual wide screens at that) because my tablet is large and the cursor works off "absolute" mode I have to move my arm way across my table to go from one corner of my monitor to the opposite. I can do this with my mouse by moving it about 3 inches....so not sure about that for navigation. I think something needs to change personally. I think I saw some settings though so I may go dig around in there.

    I can't quite get the touch stuff down and the dial doesn't seem to work for anything in GIMP. For now I think I turned the touch off just because I don't need all these extra things going on while I'm attempting to use this.

    Not sure about the pen tilt function in Gimp either....everything else seems to work though.

    And this is one reason why bigger is NOT always better.
