[Xquartz-dev] wacom tablet question / help

> Could you run 'xinput test 7' and tell me what axis 2-5 are for?
It gives me that :

me at 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 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 !
