[Bug 410267] Re: Pressure sensitive tablet: stylus paints off-cursor in Gimp and Inkscape

 

Doesn't matter if I use vesa, nv, nouveau, or the binary blob. I also
remember reading somewhere (not uf.org) that it happens with ATI
drivers.

@ ScislaC: Thanks for the info about inkscape. The lagging stayed even
at width 1, so I guess the fix isn't in Karmic yet.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: wacom-tools
  
  When activating the "Wacom Bamboo" device in Gimp or Inkscape
  (http://img.xrmb2.net/images/599671.png), stylus and cursor position
  don't match. This happens on a notebook with VESA driver, no twin view
  or similar setup.
  
  Wacom Bamboo device:
  - mode "Disabled": stylus and cursor position match, but only works like a cursor (no pressure sensitivity).
  - mode "Screen": stylus has a fixed offset but works like expected.
  - mode "Window": stylus offset varies.
- 
- Maybe connected: using the calligraphy tool in Inkscape creates some
- strange effect.
  
  See attached screen casts.
  
  This worked flawlessly in Ubuntu 9.04.
