Patrick No, I would say it has to do with the GIMP build process itself. Long story, short after 4 re-installs I have come to determine that the 2.6.38.* kernals don't seem to like (some) nvidia cards. I googled and tried tons of things with no luck. So...I ended up reverting back to 10.10 and am hoping 11.10 will actually work correctly with my video card(on a laptop.. so can't switch out!). On 10.10, I installed gimp 2.6.* from apt package and the pen works with pressure sensitivity AND the input devices work correctly for editing. ie, Gimp 2.6.x works fine. I then built/compiled all of the prerequisites(Glib, GTK+, gdk-pixbuf, pixman, cairo, babl, gegl) and then gimp into its own prefix BUT the same issue is happening, so all I can assume from this is that it has to do with some from the build process(or something missing!) However, this time while the items are all greyed out, the pen pressure DOES work this time. The thing that does not work is the stylus/eraser(meaning that they won't 'bind' to separate tools and remember them). Ie, it's working as a regular mouse + pressure. One thing I did see when configure ran was in the optional modules section of the output, I got this: Linux Input: yes (GUDev support: no) While this is a bummer, it is something I can live with for a few months until 2.8 is actual release and hopefully the packaged build will work properly even if I have to build the prerequisites manually. Hopefully by that time, 11.10 will also be released and I can make a test partition to see if it agrees with my video card. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Not liking Unity, I figured I would try Gnome 3. After getting Gnome 3 set up, I downloaded babl,gegl, and gimp tarballs and proceeded to install all sorts of dependencies (required and many optional ones) via apt-get packages. One thing you might check, since I had the same symptoms after the same upgrade, is that xserver-xorg-input-wacom is installed. (sudo apt-get install xerver-xorg-input-wacom). For some reason it was lost when I upgraded from 10 to 11.04 and the install fixed the problem instantly for me. (Well not instantly, I had to restart X.)

Where did you get the babl from? 2.7 will only work with a very recent babl, you have to install it from the tarball, too. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
