Wacom Volito Pen stops sending core events
Hello,
I'm just bought a Wacom Volito and tried to use it with Gimp. After some
time it worked fine, except one thing.
If I understood correctly there are to kinds of events the wacom driver can
emit: Normal core events like my mouse and extended events which include
e.g. the pressure I use, when I'm drawing with the pen.
My problem is, that sometime when Gimp correctly grabs the extended input
events from the tablet I'm unable to select a button out of the drawing
window. Neither can I use the mouse for clicking on a button. It seems to
me, that only the extended input events are emitted/grabbed. When I'm
clicking out of the window for some time, the xinput switches back to
normal, so that I can e.g. close a window or click a button. But this
sometimes needs more than a minute or 100 clicks, which is pretty annoying.
I hope it's clear what my problem is and please excuse my bad English.
I experienced the problem on my laptop and on my desktop computer and I
would be very glad if someone could give me a hint.
The software I use is:
X.org 6.8.1.99 (Laptop) XFree 4.3 (Desktop
linuxwacom xinput driver 0.6.6
Gimp 2.2.3-2 (Debian package)
