on the jumping, have you tried evtest to look at the reports from the
kernel driver?

On the pressure reports, does the gimp show you the pen under
preferences - input devices -configure extended input devices?

Never successfully used it myself.

I don't have evtest, and there is no ebuild (package) with this name.

I got this error when i run gaiptek :

$ gaiptek
The program 'gaiptek' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 244 error_code 8 request_code 149 minor_code 23)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
