[Xquartz-dev] Tablet support in X11.app

[Jeremy Huddleston]

So there has been quite a bit of back and forth about Tablet support  
in X11 on OSX over the past few months on these lists.  I've spent  
some time today cleaning it up some more and added support for  
differentiating between the pen and eraser, but I haven't tested it  
out due to lack of hardware here in the UK.  It will be included in  
2.3.1_rc4 when I get around to pushing that out.

I tested Gimp.app for OSX, and it does not have tablet support.  This  
is a Gimp.app bug.  They need to compile gdk with XInputExtension  
support.  I tested out a version of gimp compiled on a linux machine  
(using the Xquartz server), and it showed the devices when I clicked  
the 'Configure Extended Input Devices' button in Gimp's preferences  
(whereas the Gimp.app version does says it's not supported).

If you care about having support for your tablet in Gimp.app, then you  
should report this bug to the Gimp.app maintainers and reference the  
fact that it works with the Xquartz server and gimp on linux.
