Colors!-v13 released

2008-12-21 Thread Wade Brainerd
Hey all,

I have released Colors! version 13 with improved Wacom tablet support.
Painting has been optimized, refresh bugs have been fixed, a color pickup
feature has been added, and numerous polishing tweaks have been made to the
UI.

http://dev.laptop.org/~wadeb/Colors!-13.xo

Testing and feedback are welcome, as always.

The wiki page will be updated once the server comes back up!

Best,
Wade

Note: There are still some minor known bugs in collaboration.  I'm having a
hard time getting my XO VM and my real XO to see each other.  But I hope to
make another release which resolves these issues before long.

the kernel?  do you bundle a driver module?

Hey,
The activity itself merely accepts Wacom tablet input from XInput via the
standard GDK events.  With your kernel module and with X properly
configured, supporting Wacom tablets in activities requires no code at all,
and accessing pressure information is a one line addition.
However, since the OLPC builds do not have the kernel module, and do not
have X configured to support Wacom tablets, I provide a script on the
Colors! wiki page which will set your computer up.  The script downloads and
installs your wacom.ko file from d.l.o, and replaces xorg-dcon.conf with one
that has the needed devices.

Cheers,
-Wade
