There should be a USE variable (or a default) to enable gtk+-2.0's XInput support. XInput support in gtk+-2.0 is requried for future versions of The GIMP (and development versions now) and any other gtk+ 2.0 application that wants to use the advanced features of tablets, airbrushes, 4-D mice, styluses or any other non-typical input device (in particular, my wacom tablet) in a more portable way. These things are accessable from X directly, but gtk+ makes these things more portable. The option that needs to be passed is "--with-xinput=xfree" on linux with XFree86. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build cvs Gimp. 2. Try to use the stylus with pressure and tilt input in CVS Gimp (it won't work) Actual Results: The stylus behaves like a normal mouse Expected Results: The stylus should have it's own section the the Pointers dialog, and should be able to use it's tilt and pressure to enhance several of the tools
to give some progress report on this. I think it's ok to enable this by default, but currently there's a bug in Xfree in combination with Xinput that needs to be patched for this to go in really. It can cause problems in other apps. The correct configure option is '--with-xinput=yes' btw
ok, current gtk+-2.2.2-r1 has xinput support enabled by default. This is the first gtk+ version that correctly supports xinput btw, so with earlier versions it still wouldn't have worked. Please test it.
no complaints, i suppose it works. closing.
