On my OpenSUSE 12.1 installation with 2.8rc1 from home:MargueriteSu:gimp-2.7, my intuos3 works fine. On Windows, it's broken.
(I should compile gimp, of course, just to track its progress but gimp always needs a newer glib or gtk than I have, so that's why I only checked the rc.)

From what I read, it seems the Windows issue is a driver problem, and the pressure sensitivity issue is a separate problem.
I also found a post saying that someone is working on packaging gimp 2.8 for Debian unstable, so I'll wait for that. I can live without pressure sensitivity anyway.
