Ah, OK. I think you're running into this issue, then, which only affects applications that use Qt5:
https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/154#issuecomment-446469303 Qt5 is overly strict in its support for extended input devices. It expects the valuator for pressure to be literally called "Abs Pressure", and if it can't find a valuator with that name, it doesn't properly read pressure events. The current workaround is to start the TurboVNC Server with -virtualtablet, but I expect to fix this issue properly in TurboVNC 3.0 by dropping support for X Input v1: https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/156 On 8/16/19 3:34 PM, [email protected] wrote: > DRC <[email protected]> writes: > >> It should be possible, yes.
