I'm trying to get access to the PenTablet from within a PyGTK application. Since the PenTablet isn't working in the current system, I had to modify xorg.conf to use the evdev driver (as in this example: http://dev.laptop.org/attachment/ticket/2198/new-xorg.conf).
Doing this, I can get the PenTablet to work in relative mode to control the core pointer. But what I really want to do is to access the absolute position data from the PenTablet, to be able to draw in a GTK widget independent of the core pointer. I've tried setting SendCoreEvents to false, and then creating a GTK widget and registering for extension events. This allows to receive motion events from the PenTablet, but the x and y values in the event object are "inf" and "nan". Anybody know why this would be? Any suggestions? Apparently there used to be a method gdk.Window.input_get_pointer that would allow you to query the location of the pointer for XInput devices. However, this method appears to be gone in the current version of GTK. Has it moved somewhere?
