Surface Pro Pen pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop CS6. Was anyone able to get their surface pro to use the pen pressure sensitivity? In my photoshop settings when i turn on Pen Pressure for brush settings i see a yellow exclamation mark next to each settings which has to do with pen pressure. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know.

    I agree that a beta driver needs to be released posthaste.  Pressure sensitivity was the #1 reason I was in line for this device on day one and it's practically worthless to me without it.  It's clear from the comments here and elsewhere that many people are in the exact same boat.  Don't make me regret this purchase, Microsoft.

    I agree with Barbara 100%. Please make beta driver available now. I'd rather use that than have my device sitting there waiting on you for weeks for info. 

    I regret not returning the device before the return deadline and actually believing in Microsoft just one more time to deliver a driver "soon". What the heck!!!

    With all due respect, first we were told "soon", now "coming weeks".

    And coming weeks is for more information on progress and not the driver itself,

    as per "and we will have more to share on the progress in the coming weeks".

    Steven Bathiche (@sbathiche on Twitter) stated on February 12 "we are actively

    working with Wacom, it should be soon"

    If you really do have a driver in testing, please make it available as a beta driver

    for those who want to take whatever risk associated with using a beta driver,

    just like many other hardware vendors do. This beginning to look like a carrot

    and a stick situation. Make a vague promise and follow it up with more vague

    information.

    If you are not the person making the decision on making a beta driver available,

    then please ask that individual to participate in this thread.

    I am certain I am not the only person who would be interested in a beta or even

    an alpha driver. If you want a non disclosure, I have one on file or would sign

    a new one. And if you want feedback on a beta driver and performance with apps

    (which Microsoft SHOULD want) that could be done on Connect.
