LINUX MINT 12 Release Candidate TEST of 64-bit DVD Version downstream
development of UBUNTU 11.10 Version.

64bit-rc.iso

Bug persists in GIMP 2.6.11 with streaks to the edge of the screen using
Genius Mousepad 8x6 tablet and pen. In Gnome 3.2.1 with MGSE, the bug is
horrific. In MATE desktop environment the bug is significantly less. It
is even less in Gnome Classic and least apparent in Gnome Classic (No
Effects) desktop environments.

The same is true of the bug manifestation in UBUNTU 11.10 from worst to
least:  UNITY > Gnome Classic = Lubuntu = Xubuntu > Gnome Classic No
Effects.

So trying to evade this bug by jumping to the upcoming version of Linux
Mint 12 will not help at this time. In fact, the Gnome 3.2.1 3D
environment was so bad that the drawing could not keep up with pen
movement in addition to having to deal with the spontaneous streaking
from the bug. I am running a triple core AMD CPU at 3.1 GHz so this
graphics performance is disastrous. The performance was irrelevant to
whether my tablet drivers were installed or removed.

This leaves only two options:   
1) Drop-kick back to UBUNTU 11.04/Linux Mint 11, or, 
2) Try another distribution of Linux along Debian development design.
