Even without commenting out mouse Yes, that's one of the reasons I thought 'his tablet is not sending core events -- or, it's only sending core events occasionally'. The same thing happened to me when stylus wasn't sending core events -- it worked in other programs such as Inkscape, only partially in GIMP. As soon as I made it send core events, it worked fully in GIMP. section. Problem occured only in gimp. I.e. without commenting out mouse section, in gimp I could place a dot, but couldn't draw line, because cursor didn't move after touching surface of tablet. As I remember it, the cursor _pointer_ moved, but the _brush_ didn't. The first dot actually could receive pressure sensitivity information, because I could place larger or smaller dot with pen (pressure sensitivity enabled, size is controlled by pressure information). I think that when you comment out the mouse, the stylus gains CorePointer status.

I can use tablet as mouse, I can place single dot in gimp (which receives pressure information), but once pen touches tablet, brush within gimp freezes, although _pointer_ moves according to pen position. Okay. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. I'm as baffled as you, at this point :) David ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Enabling pressure control on gimp-2.4.7, slackware linux 12.1, G-Pen 450.
Hello. I'm trying to make pressure control work in gimp-2.4.7 on G-Pen 450 graphic tablet, on slackware 12.1. Problem: 1) If in Edit-preferences-Input Devices-configure advanced input devices, tablet device mode is set to disabled, pressure control doesn't work and I can draw only lines with constant thickness/opacity/etc. (as with mouse) 2) If in Edit-preferences-Input Devices-configure advanced input devices, tablet device mode is set to Screen or Window, pressure control doesn't work, because when I press pen, pen cursor stops moving (i.e. freezes) until I stop pressing it. I.e. I can place dots by pen, but can't draw lines. Additional info: 1) Pressure controls work fine in inkscape (version 0.46) or krita (from KDE 3.5.7). Krita detects presure automatically (because device is named as stylus), inkscape can use it, when in file-input devices device mode is set to screen or window. However when I'm trying to use similar settings for tablet in gimp, cursor simply freezes when I try to draw something. 2) gimp 2.4.7 is built from source. In the gimp-2.4.5 (bundled with slackware 12.1) pressure controls didn't work either. 3) I'm using wizardpen 0.6.0.2 driver. 4) I've been using this(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=228991) and this(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen) to configure tablet. Unfortunately, HOWTOs has gimp-related content removed, and FAQ on gimp site doesn't seem to mention anything related to my problem. 5) xorg.conf sections related to tablet(not sure if it's relevant to problem, because pressure control work in krita/inkscape): Code: --- ... Section ServerLayout Identifier X.org Configured Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 InputDeviceMouse0 CorePointer InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard InputDevicestylus SendCoreEvents EndSection ... Section InputDevice Identifier stylus driver wizardpen Option Type stylus Option Device/dev/tablet-event Option TopX 157 Option TopY 85 Option BottomX 32739 Option BottomY 32745 Option MaxX 32739 Option MaxY 32745 EndSection ... -- I'd like to know how to solve this problem and how to make pressure control to work in gimp on Linux (maybe I just missed some settings in gimp?).
