Had some fun on the 9 one, and the experience almost feel like native software, quite impressive! I can't say much more as I'm on Linux, so pressure sensitivity does not work. Is it somewhere on a roadmap?

We have an experimental WebHID support for some Wacom tablets. Can you let me know your username? I can enable WebHID for you and will leave you some instructions on how to try it out.
Sorry, forgot to clarify. WebHID is a way to get pressure sensitivity on Linux. It was tested on Wacom One and Intuos Pro. But may work on more tablets.
Sounds great! I'm Woolion#1094. I'm using a Wacom Cintiq.
All right, you can now go to "Edit -> Connect Stylus". Try reloading if you don't see it. I pray that it works for you. It's still somewhat experimental. :)
I could see the connect stylus after refresh, but unfortunately it didn't seem to work, either on the Cintiq or the Intuos Pro. If there's some mailing list or a roadmap, I'll definitely be interested in checking out again in some time, or even beta-test :-)
So what could go wrong is lack of permission. Can you try doing "chmod 666 /dev/hidraw*" on root on trying again?
Sorry, that did not change anything. It's a bit late in Europe now, but don't hesitate to let me know about a beta.
