Description mailbox 2002-05-13 17:56:14 UTC 
The Gimp 1.2.3. I downloaded only knows an Aiptek tablet.
Ihave a Lifetec tablet from Medion and this tablet cannot be installed 
into Gimp.
Can you help me?

I don't know much about the Windows version of the GIMP, but it should
allow you to use your tablet if the tablet is correctly detected by
Windows.  If it works in other applications, then it should also work
in the GIMP.

Tor, is this correct?  Can I close this bug report?
Comment 2 Tor Lillqvist 2002-05-15 20:27:11 UTC 
Tablets work well as long as you tell GTK+ not to try to use them ;-) 
I.e., the code that specifically supports tablets (cf. XINPUT support 
on X11) is known to be buggy. 

To bypass the buggy tablet code, start the application with --ignore-
wintab, or set the GDK_IGNORE_WINTAB environment variable (to any 
value). Then you won't have any pressure or tilt sensitivity, of 
course.

Isn't this just a duplicate of bug #138341?
Comment 6 Tor Lillqvist 2004-07-08 13:32:52 UTC 
Indeed.
