GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 141598
Wacom tablet drawing does not work (mode window)
Last modified: 2004-12-27 23:42:54 UTC
Starts from KDE shell (konsole) File->Preferences->Input Devices->Configure Extended Input Devices Stylus, mode Window (mode screen works) Eraser, mode Window (mode screen works) Save, Close Create new image. Select drawing tool (pen, brush, ink) I get (gimp-2.0:16334): Gimp-Base-CRITICAL **: file temp-buf.c: line 369 (temp_buf_resize): assertion `width > 0 && height > 0' failed Draw in ink results in (script-fu:16812): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error Segmentation fault all the time
I don't know if it's the same bug (no matches found in bug database), but my extended input devices are not listed under Linux, and pressure sensitivity does not work for the Wacom Intuos (GD-1212-U). However "xidump" shows all events (proximity, move, pressure, tilt, buttons). I can draw with stylus and eraser, but all are considered to be the same device and operate with full pressure constantly. My version is that of SuSE Linux 9.1 (2.0.0 or release candidate thereof): gimp-2.0.0-12, gtk2-2.2.4-121
You need to configure gimp to use tablet. (It now functions as mouse) File -> Preferences Interface -> Input Devices "Configure Extended Input Devices" For each device eraser/stylus change Mode: to Screen ("Mode: Window" wont work - that is the bug) To get this far X config needs to be OK - /etc/X11/XF86Config
If the preferences dialog doesn't list your input devices then most probably gtk+ was not compiled with support for xinput. Please ask the SuSE people to compile gtk+ with the --with-xinput configure switch.
I did configure it like Roger Larsson told. GIMP lists my Wacom tablet. Still have the same problem. But I'm on WinXp. ------- (gimp-2.0.exe:488): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1338 (g_objec t_unref): assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed

So - my Linux bug report has suddenly become a duplicate of another Windows problem!? My complaint was that "Window mode" in "Configure Extended Input Devices" does not work while "Screen mode" works - nothing more, nothing less...
Sorry. comment #4 (which seems to be completely unrelated) confused me. Your report might be a duplicate of bug #121413 though.
Is this problem still reproducable? Could you test with GIMP 2.0.5 or newer and preferably a recent GTK+-2.4 release?
GIMP 2.0.0 KDE 3.3.89 (CVS >= 20040820), kwin as window manager QT 3.3.3 Does not crash. You get an secondary mouse pointer within the window. (But of cause there is a problem to start draw with the real mouse outside the window...)
Since it seems to work now, for whatever reason, I am going to resolve this as (magically) FIXED. If there is still an issue, please reopen or add a comment.
