I'd call it "fair" -- Qt 4.6 still has bugs. And linuxwacom has some bugs as 
well, like a memory leak that sometimes happens.

Vera uses the bamboo as well, and that _should_ work. But it's really hard to 
figure out which version of Qt supports which feature -- some versions support 
pressure, others support the stylus buttons, others again the tablet buttons 
and some others the memory leak, apparently.

I'm also very interested in reports of Qt's tablet support on Windows and OSX: 
I remember that on OSX the resolution was horrible, two years ago. I don't 
have access to OSX anymore, so I cannot check. I haven't tested Windows 
myself, since I'm still trying to setup a development environment.

Either is fine :-).
