From what i can tell, the issue seems to be specific to some tablets and OS != linux(ie, windows... not sure about Mac). Best I can say would be to install 2.8, test and if you have issues, revert to 2.6 as documented(or better yet, just run linux!!!!!) I am getting my new computer sometime tomorrow, so in the next day or so, I will likely give it a try with my Bamboo tablet. Then, I will split the partition and install linux and just use that for everything since I know it works....
