My tablet pc was unable to work with the subpixel preferences option...it sent the cursor off in strange ways.
But today I downloaded the latest wacom driver 5.03 or somesuch and after the inevitable "my tablet doesn't work anymore, dear god,why did I try this?"
(The secret was to uninstall the old wacom driver before installing the new one) I finally got it to work. Then I kicked in tvpaint and set subpixel to "on" in the preferences. Close and open TV Paint and hey presto Sub pixel painting works perfectly.
I'm not going to guarantee it will work with all tablets, but it did with mine(LG LT20)

Subpixel offset
John,
Are you talking off the TabletPC cursor and the tvpaint cursor offset by inches or pixels? My problem (HP tc4400) is that the tvpaint cursor and the place the line actually draws from are two different places--off by about five pixels. The direction depends upon my calibration of the TabletPC.
I also can only use the TabletPC in its original landscape, laptop-style setting, if I want it within this five-pixel radius. If I fold the screen back and try to work in slate mode, subpixel mode yields a cursor offset by about three or four inches--completely impossible to use. So I deal with the five-pixel gap for now, but it's causing me to use my TabletPC much less than the desktop (not my hope when I bought this new computer, thinking it was mostly for TVPaint!).
I hope this gets addressed soon, even though I realize it probably isn't making the high-priority list.

Hi David
My tablet was off by several inches with the amount varying depending on the vertical location of the cursor. Until you mentioned it I had not tried different orientations. Unfortunately the new driver only fixed the standard landscape orientation, portrait is still cactus with the stroke location off by inches and the direction off by 90 to 180 degrees.
Still, it's better than it was, and one good orientation beats the hell out of none.
