blender 3d texture paint + pen tablet lags. (video inside)

Blender 2.78b / Ubuntu studio 17.04 linux

The pen tablet works great in Krita, handles stuff nice in blender… but when it comes to texture painting, nope. It dont want to do it without a struggle. Pen struggles yet mouse flows nicely. this only happens in blender. Its smooth in krita.

Here’s a video of the problem in action:

First stroke is the pen tablet. Second stroke is mouse.
Is there anything i can do to improve the texture paint experience using a pen tablet?
(trying to get 2.8 b

I also noticed pen pressure sensitivity is not working for me in blender either. Even if i tick the options for pressure sensitivity (not show in video)

Any knowledge appreciated.

I forgot to mention, its a Huion 1060 plus pen tablet.

You could try getting libwacom2 in addition to the usual libwacom tablet driver if it’s not installed already. Not sure if it counts for a Huion, but I know it usually solves issues with tablet settings that the base driver doesn’t seem to support.

Other than that? Who knows. Could try asking the same in regards to that particular distro.
