Hm. If I set Gimp to relate pressure to size I get a uniform tract: no
blotches, but no variation either. Which could mean to things: I don't
know how to set up gimp properly (but I did activate the 3rd evaluator
as pressure in the extended input device dialog), or it's really
something related to the driver not being able to tell touches from
buttons. And since I can't test with xinput I don't know where to
start debugging this issue. Suggestions?
