Tablet input stutters and fails to register strokes on Ubuntu 11.10
Last modified: 2011-05-09 12:26:28 UTC
Input with my wacom intuos 3 has become really shaky since upgrading to ubuntu 11.10. Tablet input (including pressure sensitivity etc) works fine in other applications (blender, mypaint, zbrush via wine), but in GIMP it stutters and fails to register some strokes. This is v. frustrating.
Correction, Ubuntu 11.04.
I have intuos 3 and 11.04 myself and I haven't noticed such issues, but I do use the latest development version. Can you try to upgrade to a recent development snapshot? There should be PPA-s available that offer near nightly builds.
It seems there is a better description of the issue already present. GTK seems to be the guilty party when the machine is under heavy load. Issue may be lesser in recent snapshots due to optimizations in painting. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 644351 ***
