I'm trying to dive a little more into figuring out why Inkscape, etc refuse to use the connected wacom tablet even through 'xinput test' spews out the data for tilt and pressure. Is there anyone here on the list who can connect a wacom tablet to a linux box and tell me the output of 'xinput list'? Thanks

Thanks... I think I figured out a lot about the Tablet support... and part of the problem is actually, I think, in Gimp.app... but there's still some more we can do in Xquartz to make it more robust. Could you run 'xinput test 7' and tell me what axis 2-5 are for? I was under the impression that 2 was pressure, 3&4 were tilt... so what is axis 5 about? The version of Gimp.app that I have isn't compiled to support Tablets even if the server supports it!! /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/ Resources/bin/gimp-2.4 (actually, specifically libgdk) isn't linking against libXi. I'd like someone to please verify this for me by sshing into their Mac OSX box from their linux box and running / Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gimp-2.4 ... you should notice that it doesn't like your tablet. If you could test Inkscape in this manor as well, I'd appreciate it... Also, if you could please do the reverse (ssh into your linux box with a gimp that likes tablets from your Mac box) and test out gimp with 2.3.1_rc3, I'd appreciate it. I'm making further changes to the tablet support and will push it out in rc4. On Sep 3, 2008, at 06:33, Julien Lusson wrote:

Could you run 'xinput test 7' and tell me what axis 2-5 are for? It gives me that :
me@ubuntu:~# xinput test 7 motion a[0]=4225 a[1]=2898 a[2]=0 a[3]=0 a[4]=0 a[5]=0 (...) When I "touch" the tablet with the stylus : button press 1 a[0]=7803 a[1]=4348 a[2]=53 a[3]=0 a[4]=0 a[5]=0 then : button release 1 a[0]=7794 a[1]=4350 a[2]=0 a[3]=0 a[4]=0 a[5]=0 So 2 is the pressure. But for 3 to 5 : always 0. I've saw that : http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/faq "Note, tilt is only supported with protocol V tablets, which include Intuos series and Cintiq 21UX to date (Nov. 9, 2006). Any other tablets don't have tilt no matter you have the tilt option in your xorg.conf or not." So maybe my tablet can't handle tilt... (I've put the tilt option in the xorg.conf) (It's the "graphire 4", A6, bought for 90 euros end 2006)
I 'd like someone to please verify this for me by sshing into their Mac OSX box from their linux box and running /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gimp-2.4 ... you should notice that it doesn't like your tablet. If you could test Inkscape in this manor as well, I'd appreciate it... I don't use the "Gimp.app" but the "macports" gimp. And I've no linux box to test (I use linux on the mac) maybe with VMWare Fusion it can work. I'll try, I've Fedora 9 64bits installed.
I'm happy that tablet support will come in GIMP & Inkscape, it's the "main" problem for me with "nix" programs on OSX !
Tilt is 3&4... and it looks to me like 5 is somehow labled "wheel" ... though I'm not exactly sure what that means... On Sep 3, 2008, at 12:20, Julien Lusson wrote:

Some tablets have a scroll "wheel" (like most mice do these days). Actually, the scroll mechanism is usually a trackpad ("touchstrip"), but it serves the same purpose. On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 6:47 PM, Jeremy Huddleston <jeremyhu@berkeley.edu> wrote:
