rob_c : 27/04/02 01:17 PM : Incident created -   My machine dual boots between Mandrake and Win2K. I use a wacom graphics tablet for artwork under windows. This has never worked under Linux as i have never bothered to install a driver available from Wacom as I tend to use photoshop etc over the GIMP for artwork. However the other day I decided to use the gimp to quickly re touch some graphics wile i was working with linux on the HTML to go with the graphics. I was idly clicking around in the GIMP and opened up its menus on using tablets... Out of curiosity I picked up my stylus and it was working! Everythings fines with it, pressure sensitivity, angle etc. Then to make things very freaky when I shut down the GIMP the tablet continued to work afterwards! This really is not a support question as things work but could someone please explain to my why they work like this. :/
Linegod_7611 : 29/04/02 04:17 PM : Reply received -   The GIMP includes it's own interface references for tablets, scanners, etc, and are most likely more up to date than the core drivers, as they would be a higher priority for The GIMP. If you follow the submission directions in harddrake for unknown hardware, and attach your scenario to it, it may get updated in the main distro. ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this question.
