Just as the subject says, when using The GIMP from Fedora Core 6
(2.2.13) with my Wacom Graphire 4 tablet, there's a sudden loss of
sensitivity. The problem seems to appear at random times, while using
the program. For example, I am able to draw several strokes with varying
degrees of sensitivity, but then at some point the pressure stops
responding and starts acting at 100% pressure. I'm currently using
LinuxWacom-0.7.6-4 drivers and not even closing The GIMP, applying my
pressure settings again in wacomcpl and then reopening The GIMP works,
the strokes are still @ 100% pressure. I'm not sure what may be the
problem here, but I started using 0.7.6 just because of this problem
with the bundled 0.7.4-1 drivers from Fedora. Any pointers as to what
may be causing these problems? By the way, the only way to get pressure
sensitivity back is by restarting my whole session, with X restart and
all, i.e, unloading and reloading of the Wacom driver.
Just for reference, here's my xorg.conf portions pertaining the Wacom
specific configurations:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "pad"
Option "AIGLX" "true"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Tilt" "on"
# Option "PressCurve" "0,0,100,100"
Option "Mode" "Relative"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"
# Option "PressCurve" "0,0,100,100"
Option "Mode" "Relative"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # USB ONLY
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pad"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "pad"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Button4" "6"
Option "Button5" "7"
Option "Button9" "4"
Option "Button13" "5"
EndSection
By the way, if anyone knows how to get the buttons working I'd be most
grateful. I have a 5 button mouse working (Wireless Explorer 2.0) and it
uses buttons 6 and 7 as the Z axis buttons, and buttons 4 and 5 as the
"back" and "forward" buttons, respectively. I'm not sure if that
configuration for the Pad device is enough to get these working or not.
Here's the mouse section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "9"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
It says "Buttons" "9" there, as the mouse is one of those models with
"tilt wheel" (which I have not been able to get working, and I'm not
asking you guys to help with this, but though this might be causing a
"remap" of the buttons on the Graphire too). I'm not sure if the problem
I'm having may have any relation to the X configuration. For any input,
thanks in advance.
