While I'm posting my current problems I might as well mention another ongoing one before I try to fix it myself: Has anyone dealt with the problem of a summagraphics tablet, configured as a microsoft mouse, supposedly mapped one-to-one to the screen, which actually does not map one-to-one? If I trace an image, it comes out stretched vertically about 20%. I then have to resize it in AAP, but that screws up the lines so I have to retrace the whole picture again in AAP. (Note: this is so even though a square generated in AAP does display as a perfect square [but a traced square on the same screen is a rectangle] — i.e., its not my display thats the problem.)

Did you either configure while you were in 320×200 resolution, or are you drawing in 320×200? Remember the aspect ration for this resolution is .82. Thepixels them selves are actually elongated. -Brian
