I'm on that list, and indeed, asking for help there lead to me finding
that when I upgraded to Natty, xserver-xorg-input-wacom didn't upgrade
and was lost.  I just had to reinstall it and everything started working.

   Well, sort of. The stylus becomes less responsive, for some reason. For

 Mine was fine too.  I'm asking for help to figure out how to debug why
 that changed.

Don't expect that I can help, but have you explored the idea that it could 
be X11 related rather than gimp?

You could try using your tablet w/ krita or mypaint, both of which have good 
support for wacom devices and pressure. If those fail in the same way then 
look at X11, (or Ubuntu and its derivitives in general) as the source of the 
problem

Also try your tablet using a live cd/dvd of your prefered distro to see if 
the problem occurs there as well.

Or consider the case that there may be a hardware problem with the 
tablet. Try another tablet, or try the tablet on another machine with 
Windows or MacOS.

Not really, I haven't been able to figure out how to configure that in 
GIMP. I don't understand how the Axes and Keys tabs of the Configure 
Extended Input Devices work.

Anyone knows?

[Gimp-user] Wacom weirdness

2011-07-29 Thread Fred J
I'm running Mint 11 and Gimp 2.6.11.  (But this problem was the same on 
Ubuntu 11.04, but not on 10.10).


If I change the Wacom input device config (Edit  Pref) from stylus  
disabled to stylus  screen, then the stylus uses pressure and size 
and opacity (via brush dynamics) nicely.


Well, sort of.  The stylus becomes less responsive, for some reason.  
For example, if I draw a series of consecutive lines, every third or 
fourth one will not appear, as if the stylus has stopped working or 
something.


When I revert stylus  screen to stylus  disabled, my stylus draws 
properly, but without the affects mentioned above.  (Which is how I now 
draw, since it's impossible to successfully work with an unresponsive 
stylus).


 This is obviously not ideal.  I've installed that Wacom Config Panel 
application, but it doesn't recognise my tablet (which is due to the 
developer and not Gimp, presumably).


Any idea how to resolve this disabled-screen problem?  I'd like to use 
pressure etc...
