You're right, now the mouse works, although not as naturally as it does on other apps. What will I miss without the subpixels clicked? I keep forgetting this but I do remember that I should have it checked.

I'm not qualified to answer to that, since my old Intuos (and the old driver I run with for years) needs the subpixel setting off ...
I donno what I miss or not, but as long as it works nicely for me, I won't change anything.

on my tablet-pc, the subpixel setting is On, but I can't see any difference on strokes .

Well the Wacom mouse is still far from adequate compared to the logitech one I have but it's nice to know that it'll do the job if I forget to recharge my logitech. How can you live without buying a new tablet every time a new model comes out? I can do that with cars but never with tablets, even though each time there's an adjustment anxiety period to suppress (by telling everyone else they should buy it too). :)

I donno how, but "yes I can" !
Wacom is a thief, and I don't use to feed the thieves,
so they will never get a penny from me ! :P
all the tablets I owned were "second hand", actually 4 or 5 ... :)

I got my last two Intuos 3s for free from Wacom so I can't see them as thieves. Except for what they charge for those pens, of course.

The way I look at it, I've had my 3 for what? 7 or 8 years now....and it has been wonderful. That's not very much per year.

For $427, I'm happy to buy even "more wonderful" for the coming years.

I'm wondering if anyone is interesting in buying my 3 for a good price?

Oh right..I started with a smaller one at first, I forgot. Feels like I've had it forever anyway.

Here's the difference between subpixel turned on and off -- quite noticeable, I'd say.
A correction to my remarks about the Wacom 4 Radial gadget -- I take what I said back. After spending more time with settings I find it quite adequate for many functions. I even programmed it to scrub through instance frames, playing just the heads.

indeed !!! :o
we are talking about the tablet SubPixel option in the preference panel, right ?
which wacom driver version ?
strokes drawn at view 100%, or zoomed (in or out) ?

here it's smooth identically whatever the subpixel option ... :?

are you using a tabletPC?
the digitizer on the tabletPC doesn't need to have sub-pixel enabled and in fact gives a similar line result whether enabled or disabled.

OK, that's it !

but what's strange to me, on my desktop, I have subpixel option off and get smooth lines as well ...
I can't reproduce the funky-jerky-blocky line as in Paul exemple .

nevermind, the opposite would be a problem,
but as long as my lines are smooth and responsive, it's ok.

You'll just have to keep trying. It comes with experience.
