Tablet and cursor won't align properly

I recently installed a driver for my tablet so I can use mouse pressure. However, when I try to so some simple sketching, the cursor goes wonky.

To elaborate: I tend to use my tablet in 'mouse mode' (which is by default) so I can draw easier. However, after installing the driver and even changing the settings to mouse mode, GIMP would somehow act like my mouse is in 'pen mode', thus messing up the alignment.

I am using a Bamboo Fun CTE-450 model. Help on this would be appreciated.

Would there be some sort of... Calibration Sequence you could run?

Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I had that problem on my last machine and it was a setting in preferences, in Gimp. I'll have to look at the settings and see what I can remember.

Like as in, how on a touch screen sometimes the spot where you touch is different from the spot where it shows. So Calibrate.
He starts doing it on a DS in this video at around 30 seconds (sorry only thing I could think of that you can Calibrate)

There is no calibration routine for the Bamboo's

For some reason I fixed it now.

Thanks for the help anyway.
