So my Huion tablet is kind of taking a poo, so I ordered a new Wacom intuos 2, which is suggested for beginners. Now it took me a while to figure out pen pressure on my Huion and using it on Gimp (there qas a little setting in the tablet settings itself that was preventing it working in Gimp) and now I am having troubles with my Wacom!

I figured it was something simple, the pen pressure works in the testing thing within the tablet settings, but not in Gimp (as a note, i set it to the highest sensitivity so that you dont have to press very hard at all to register a lot of pressure). I looked in the preferences and Input Devices in Gimp's options, and my tablet and related things show up, but I'm not sure where I can see that pen pressure is activated for them or how to turn it on, if that is a thing.

At some point in messing about with it, it seemed like there was very subtle pen pressure that i could barely notice, but only when the brush size was ridiculouly huge (and it never got BIG even at 600, it was always very very thin lines) but since then it seems I reversed that good progress somehow. I appreciate any help or advice at all!
