Why doesn't my tablet give me pressure sensitivity?

Question

I've tried bunches of programs... Ok, 2. But I'm pretty sure both support pressure sensitivity, and I know my tablet does (it's a wacom graphire, fairly new) and for some reason when I try to use my tablet in the GIMP, it doesn't do anything pressure sensitive-wise! It's horrible. I really wanna be able to do this. Do I have to activate some setting or something, either in the GIMP or on my tablet? I just don't understand why it's not changing the brush-size.. And trust me, I've tried everything I can think of. The settings for pressure sensitivity are enabled, I thought. I mean, the boxes under pressure sensitivity are checked. I don't know what to do.

Answer 1

From what I remember, there is a Wacom preference box and you double clicka nd scribble and set the levels. dja do dat?
