Experiencing same horizontal and vertical line spikes utilizing two
Genius Mousepad 8x6 tablets on both 386 and AMD-64 Ubuntu 11.10 machines
utilizing latest NVIDIA 280 drivers and GIMP Editor. Confirm that
disabling the Extended Input Devices stops the problem. However, without
Extended Input Devices enabled the tablets will not have pressure
sensitivity capabilities. This problem did not exist in UBUNTU 11.04.

Tested and Confirmed this problem pertaining GIMP with the following UBUNTU 11.10 shells:
GNOME, GNOME Classic, UNITY, UNITY 2D, Lubuntu, LXDE Session, Xubuntu, Xfce Session

Additionally Martin Owens PPA for Wizardpen Drivers does not include the latest version for Oneiric Ocelot 11.10

Only Natty version and earlier available.

Inkscape drawing works but pressure sensitivity does not.  But I believe
this was also the case in version 11.04.

SynfigStudio also works but you must manually install as the Ubuntu
Software Center will not install even though it is listed. There appears
to be no setup for tablets so again..., no pressure sensitivity
capabilities.

Regarding Blender..., Drawing OK, all pen buttons work. Pressure
sensitivity is supposed to be active in SCULPT MODE but I couldn't get
it to work. But this could be due to my ignorance of the proper use of
this function.

Considering that the BIG BUCK BUNNY project lists the use of SYNFIG
STUDIO, BLENDER, GIMP and INKSCAPE as tools , this bug presents itself
as a serious problem meriting top priority regarding a fix.
