Thanks, now figured it out: due to the fact now there are 3 devices,
and they are named exactly the same, I never noticed that every time
the tablet is plugged in, the Input dialog setup order in Mypaint is
actually different. This is why I never got any result. If I set up
_both_ tablet devices every time I plug it in, not just one of them,
pressure works in Mypaint. Same for GIMP, which sees only one device
in my version, and isn't picking the correct one.

When I draw a line freehand somewhat slowly, it oscillates very
gently, but uniformly, not like a normal freehand variation. Never
noticed that effect with prior tablets in use. At first, it looked a
bit like "ladder" - not enough mapping resolution, or dropping points
between reading pointer position. Now, trying to recreate it, I
hesitate to claim so. It might be, in fact, normal freehand variation
due to the pen and device itself. The picture is attached for
completeness, but it's probably a hardware quirk.

Including xinput test (first device) - for completeness. Nothing out
of ordinary in Xorg.log. I reckon the driver indeed works very well on
the H610 pen side (haven't tried to map the tablet keys).

Thank you again for the great work, and sorry for being such a newbie trouble.
