Getting The GIMP to accept wacom pressure-sens?


Hi,

Now I´ve managed to to something I´ve not managed to do for a
whole year (and believe me - I´ve tried for weeks) to get
wacom to work on Slackware 10.1 - (10.2 which I use now).
That was amazingly hard work, but I´m getting closer!

Now wacdump registers my wacom volito-1´s pressure
and buttons, so everything here is perky perfect.

But...

The Gimp (version 2.2.8) does not register the pressure
at all, yes...I´ve turned the options on ..heck..they´re on
by default.

And here´s my Xorg settings:

Quote:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "Mode" "relative"
Option "Speed" "12.0"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Threshold" "-100"
EndSection

Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "absolute"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "DeviceName" "stylus"
# Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
# Option "Tilt" "on"
# Option "Threshold" "-100"
EndSection
Yes...I´ve found the Wacom Volito active on event3
and the wacdump registers the pressures just fine, but the
gimp doesn´t - at all. But of course..the wacom works just
fine in KDE as an "absolute-position" mouse.

And... it also shows up under Cursor/Stylus when I configure
the gimp under preferences...however...not in the inputdevices
tab...there´s only the mouse and the keyboard.

So...anyone know where I go from here? Please?

Silly question. Is this for a tablet PC? If so, I am having some real problems trying to get my IBM X41 Tablet to correctly work with Slack 10.2.

Hi, No - it´s for a Wacom Volito-1 tablet.

Anyone have any suggestions?
