[Gimp-user] problem with genius 8x6 tablet and gimp
I have a possible solution to this problem - but you're not going to like it. My guess is, that like me - you have a second monitor. I think that what's happening is that Gimp is not dealing well with the extended desktop, and that's why the x-axis is getting confused. I found that unplugging my second monitor, and rebooting, as well as setting the device mode back to 'screen' made everything work properly. It's hardly a suitable solution - but might help to point out where the problem lies. Hi. I've just replaced my old AceCad tablet with Genius 8x6 tablet. it works fine in ALL programs I checked except for GIMP . :( The problem is that the x-axis doens't react as it should. for example - if I user a brush tool - I get two cursors - one with a brush where the pen is and another where it actualy draws. I've googled for a few hours with no aparent solution. I'm using gimp 2.6.8 on windows XP home edition. To my best knowledge, the tablet driver is the latest and it seems to work fine. I also get preasure recognition both in gimp and in the tablet utility. Do you know of any solution about this frustrating situation ? Thanks, Ohad. I'm having the same problem, and while I can't offer a solution, I might be able to offer a bit more information. I'm running with two monitors, and I'm wondering if -- straykite (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I have the same Problem using a Genius 5x4. I did call up the support Hotline. The only solution they gave was buy Photoshop :-( Cant use Inkscape as well. -- Dirk K.

Grab the source code (of GTK+) and add support for your tablet to it. Then send a patch to the GTK+ developers. You can also try to ask the tablet vendor to add proper support for their tablet to GTK+.

Hi, Tx for the quick response but it is not realy helpful. I don't have the time or knowledge to dive into GTK+ code and manipulate it. If someone thinks it might help clarify the problem, I will be happy to upload a screen capture image of the problem. Ohad. -- Ohad N.

Funnily enough the tablet is reported to work with GIMP just fine on Linux. That is not too surprising. The Windows port of GTK+ does not get as much contributions as the X11/Linux backend. There are probably a lot more GIMP users on Windows than there are on Linux, but still there are almost no code contributions for the Windows specific parts of the code. It's the same for scanners and printing. Windows is a second-class citizen, simply because there is almost no contributions from Windows users.

Indeed frustrating . I've tried to isolate the problem and when I run gimp with : gimp-2.6.exe - --no-wintab it works fine as for the cursor(s) location, but I loose all the pressure sensativity so it is not much for a help for real drawings. Maybe you know how to activate the option --gtk-debug=FLAGS I can put a dump from the debug and maybe someone would have an idea. Thanks, Ohad. -- Ohad N.

Hi everyone, This is my first post to the list and I'm still a GIMP newbie so I apologise in advance if I've violated a posting convention or sound particularly naive. Ohad: The problem is that the x-axis doens't react as it should. for example - if I user a brush tool - I get two cursors - one with a brush where the pen is and another where it actualy draws. If someone thinks it might help clarify the problem, I will be happy to upload a screen capture image of the problem. I've experienced my y-axis being uncontrollable (with the x axis mapping fine) but it was not accompanied by two cursors. Could you elaborate a bit more on what your specific problem is? Unfortunately I don't remember how I fixed my y-axis problem (sorry - was also on an Aiptek not Genius tablet) but a screen capture might be useful. I have also experienced a two-cursor situation but that was due to settings for a Wacom tablet. The tablet was configured within GIMP to map to within the program window, thus creating two cursors when the operating system additionally mapped it to the context of the entire desktop frame (I don't know what the proper terms are sorry). I rectified this by configuring the tablet in GIMP to the context of the desktop frame as well. Have you checked Preferences Input Devices Configure Extended Input Devices in case that's the reason?

Hi Xiella, Thanks for the response. I've created a screen shot showing the problem : http://www.flickr.com/photos/47152...@n05/4326636701/ Now, about your suggestion - I think that I tried everything in the preferences regarding the tablet but I would be happy to try once more. Please instruct me on what options should I state for tablet (window ? screen ? something else ?) and I would try and return with the results. Thank you for your time and effort. Ohad. -- Ohad N.
