Wacom has a new driver ver 4.85-6 that fixes one very annoying problem I was having with my Intuos 3 6x8.
At high resolutions in particular, there was a very slight lag when starting to draw a line. If anyone else has noticed that, it is happily fixed with the new driver relased last March. I just discovered it... better late than never...

I had a helluva time with that driver because I installed it on top of the last one instead of removing the last one first.
I finally did it right, and all was well -- |

I just installed it right on top of the old one and had no problems... Maybe different OSs account for the difference. I'm using WinXP home edition.

It's good you didn't have any trouble.
I have Win XP Pro, and when I installed it, the cursor was wiggly; diagonal motions became expressed in cursor paths composed of small horizontals and verticals; window edges and hyperlinks acted like obstacles that it took extra motion to drag the cursor past; and zeroing in on something specific like an icon was like putting a key in a keyhole while drunk.
I had to call Wacom, and the first thing they asked was, "did you remember to uninstall the old driver first?"
... so if anyone else has symptoms similar to mine -- a clean uninstall before reinstalling could be your solution. |

I remembered about the Wacom "uninstall first" after I had started installing the new version... but, since it worked fine after the new install, I just went with it... all's working well and that slight lag at the start of every stroke - very annoying - is gone.

There's an even newer driver now...
Driver 4.87-2_32 for Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 and XP Jun. 16, 2005 1.48MB
I'm going to try it. Maya 6.5 is ignoring my MMB
I ran the diagnostic mode on the Wacom and switch 2 (the MMB) only reads as closed when I bear down extra hard on the wheel. The click alone won't do it. Maybe the switch is faulty.
At any rate, there's a new driver. |
