Re: [Linuxwacom-discuss] Bamboo Pen & Touch (CTH460) support

[Nicolas B. <nbi...@gm...>]

Thanx for your input both!

I bough one and went on installing 0.10.7. The pen part works without issue.
The touch part also worked! It is not that usable though. It seems the
cursor jumps 5 or 10 pixels or something like this and is not fluid. Single
click by tpaping sometimes works, sometimes not. And two finger scroll is
75% doing nothing (just moving cursor), other 25% scrolling weirdly.

I will try to peek inside the code and see if I can contribute. Thanx devs
for your hard work!

Nicolas
