[Gimp-user] Gimp/Graphire 3 Flakiness
I have also been experiencing problems with Gimp 2.2.4 and the Wacom Graphire 3 that match exactly what a previous poster experienced. 1) At a certain point, not long after I start using the tablet in Gimp, the cursor stops changing from, say, the paint cursor to the default pointer and just stays as the paint cursor, even outside the canvas. This means that I cannot access the palettes, the windows, or the rest of the desktop. Using ALT-TAB stops working, too. 2) Once this happens, watching which device is active, I can switch from Stylus to Eraser without a problem, but it won't switch back to the Core Device once I start moving the mouse. The cursor still responds and moves around, but the active device stays locked where it was, either as Stylus or Eraser. 3) If I keep this up for a while, the cursor stops interacting with the canvas completely, so I can no longer paint or do anything. 4) Eventually, the pointer regains its ability to switch back to a default pointer outside the template, and I'm able to quit Gimp. I've tried this in Gimp 2.2.4 and Gimp 2.0, with the same problem reappearing. The thing is, I used to have this working with 2.0, no problems at all. My XFree86 setup is fine, I was once able to do everything without a problem. The only differences I can think of are that: a) I've upgraded to the 2.6.10 kernel. No difference with just the stock drivers or with the linuxwacom drivers added to it. b) I'm using garnome, version 2.8.2.1. I THINK that it was working after I had garnome installed, but I'm not 100%. What I definitely have in common with the previous poster is that I'm using kernel 2.6.10. Has anyone else with a Wacom tablet and 2.6.10 installed run into this issue? I'm going to switch back to 2.6.1 and see what happens. -Mike ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Gimp/Graphire 3 Flakiness...Aha!
Okay, I just rebooted into kernel 2.6.1, and the problem is gone! The difference, as far I can tell, is either something strictly with the kernel versions or the fact that the 2.6.1 wacom module I built completely from the linuxwacom sources and the 2.6.10 modules were originally built from the included code from the kernel tarball (though later replaced in 2.6.10 by the linuxwacom modules, to no effect). Anyone have an idea on what might've caused something like that to happen? I'm not even sure what subsystem was acting up there. I assume something when haywire with the kernel modules, but it could easily also have been the X server drivers, too, or some combination thereof. Cazy. -Mike -- ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Fonts in 1.3.15
I'm totally lost with fonts in 1.3.15. Here's what I know: * The text tool has a button for open, a button for clear, and a couple of buttons to indicate the direction of the text. There's also the text window. * There is a font dialog where I can see an Aa example of the fonts plus a quote in that font once I roll over a font label with the mouse. My problems are that: * I cannot change the color of the font, regardless of how I set my foreground color. * I cannot change the size of the font. * I don't seem to be able to actually change the font at all, although I can highlight a font in the font dialog. * Getting the text to appear on the image, even assuming the default font in black, is inconsistently successful. I've been using the earlier Gimp 1.x.x series for a few years now, so I know my way around Gimp fairly well. I'm pretty much all googled out with this problem. I'm running Gnome 2.2 off of the recent Ximian Desktop 2 updates. Could I just have a bum generic font widget from that? I feel like I taking crazy pills here. Has anyone else run into this? -Mike ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
