Sai's pressure sensitivity problem is still not resolved...Your report fits another bug report of wine- the one where when you upgrade to hardy heron,tablet pressure sensitivity gets borked. I had a simular problem (if not exactly the same) with wine on vector linux 5.9., which is the same as slackware 12.* (curent). Tablet pressure sensitivity in wine did not work.But somebody released a patch for an older version of wine that has it fixed on both slackware and the latest ubuntu:

i had exactly the same issue under vectorlinux 5.9 and this patch on wine 0.9.61 fixed it. I can confirm that the patch has not been included in wine 1 rc2,as pressure sensitivity did not work there.

I hope they implement pressure sensitivity in sai soon.I see Sai as a worthy competator of Photoshop,its brushes are superior for cg.
