For the Last Time...

Dear God Wacom... release stable drivers for my Intuos Tablet... I beg you... I'm sick of opening task manager and killing each tablet process and then restarting the service every time you lose the display proportions and pressure sensitivity on my 2nd monitor... I've lost countless progressions on my drawings because you fuck up every god damn

Wacom has historically had lousy multi-monitor support. Especially with Alias Sketchbook Pro -- which is one of the reasons why I quit using Alias. Photoshop and Painter 8 behaved perfectly, but Alias would act like the cursor was on the other monitor. It took two driver updates before Alias would begin to cooperate on the primary monitor (out of three at the time). I haven't gotten anything to work on anything not the primary monitor.

I think the problem stems from the aspect ratio mismatch between your tablet and your monitor, and that you have more than one monitor -- and both are different aspect ratios. I have a 16:10 display, and a 8x6 tablet -- what I ended up doing was instead of skewing the ratio, I just lost a 320 pixel-wide area on the left side of my display (1920x1200 LCD; a 4:3 equivalent would be 1600x1200) since thats where the palettes are in Photoshop.

Stay on your primary monitor if you can, since that's just about the only place I found tablets to work. I was sort of hoping that paying more for a tablet would equate to better software support. Apparently not.

It's also worth noting, that this is also another reason why I'm mostly traditional rather than digital -- paper doesn't crash, or require restarting services.
