I have solved this problem in Ubuntu 12.04 by two ways: The first thing that you can do is create an script which disables overlay_scrollbars and after starts Inkscape and the other thing that you can do is uninstall the overlay_scrollbars
1.Create a new empty document and write this code inside of it (whit gedit for example): export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 inkscape After that,rename the empty document to "Inkscape Wacom pressure.sh" (or another name that you want,the important is the ".sh").Afther that,right click in the empty document and,in properties,make the file executable.Whit this done,if you make a double click in the file and press execute,Inkscape will appear and Wacom pressure is going to be allright. 2.Open terminal and paste this: sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0 liboverlay-scrollbar3-0.2-0 (for UBUNTU 12.04) sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0 (for UBUNTU 11.04 and 11.10) Press enter and when you restart your computer or your session,overlay_scrollbars will be uninstalled and Wacom pressure on Inkscape will be ok. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/790130 Title: no pressure sensitivity with wacom tablet in inkscape Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Confirmed Status in Overlay Scrollbar: Confirmed Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: inkscape I am using inkscape 0.48 with a wacom pen & touch (CTH-460/k) I have been using this combination before and everything was working fine, but - probably - since the upgrade to natty pressure sensitivity does not work any more, whereas it is working fine, e.g. in the gimp. I have double- and triple-checked the settings. The tablet is recognised and everything is enabled and set to "screen". Yet, no joy. I'd like to work with this again, as this is a productive envrionment...
