Hi,

I use a Graphire 2 wacom tablet and I've the same problem. I've reported a bug via the Debian BTS sometimes ago against 1.3. The behaviour has been improved but the devices are not (yet) really useable.

Have a look to:

Hi,

Posted this without thinking that the from: address is different to my subscribed list address. It's been 24hrs waiting to be moderated, so I'm
guessing that it's not going to be.

I'm not sure if this is the right list for this question, but that's kind of what I'm trying to work out, so perhaps somebody can help me :-)

I'm trying to get an Aiptek tablet working. The tablet drivers are still
beta, so I'm trying to determine if the problem is with the drivers, or
somewhere else.

I have the stylus set up as AlwaysCore, and it works OK in Gimp, so long
as I leave it disabled in the Input Devices dialog (although, obviously,
it doesn't register pressure).

If I enable the stylus device, however, when you move the stylus, the program flickers rapidly between the stylus and the Core Pointer, making
it fairly unusable (which you can see clearly if you look at the Device
Status dialog). This is with the stylus set to screen. Set to window, it
works even less well. The irony, of course, is that the stylus *is* the
core pointer (kind of).

I've just tried with Gimp-2.0pre1, but it's basically the same as 1.2 (with respect to the tablet's behaviour, that is - otherwise, it looks very cool indeed).

Anyway, I presume that Gimp's (Gdk's) tablet support works better than this. Can somebody tell me what behaviour I should expect to see if I was using a Wacom tablet, for instance?

Regards,

Mike

But so far the problem has only been reported against gimp-1.3/2.0 and gtk+-2.x. If Mike has this problem in gimp-1.2, then it's most likely a driver issue. Actually it's very well possible that the problem in gimp 1.3/2.0 is a driver issue as well. Not everyone sees this problem; for some people the tablet works just fine.

I agree, I've not any problem with gimp 1.2 ; the problem is only with 1.3 and 2.0pre.

I think it is not a driver problem as the problem occurs only in one case: when the stylus/eraser/pointer is on the menu bar of the main window. In this case, I can see the cursor switching quickly between the selected device and the core pointer (in the devices status dialog or in a tool option box). But in _any_ other case: on any windows or picture, even when I pick a tool from the main window, everything works fine.
