Bug 123858 – gtk+-2.8 - Wacom pointer offset when using TopY other than 0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Beech Horn 2006-02-23 13:59:56 UTC]

Ratio of my Wacom and monitor don't match that well.
Therefore I tried restricting the TopY with "xsetwacom set stylus TopY 7296".
Works fine, except on GIMP image windows. Arrow and tool indicator icon are
drawn where the pointer is supposed to be. But the brush appears some
centimeters above it. The distances changes from bottom to top, becoming smaller.

It seems the brush still moves like with unrestricted TopY, since the distortion
is the same (checked by tracing a pencil sketch).

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-02-23 14:16:51 UTC]

Don't mark bugs fixed until fixed in portage.

[Comment 7 Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) 2006-03-03 13:25:38 UTC]

We will watch the upstream bugs for integrating these changes.  The changes are non-trivial, therefore, it would be better for upstream to integrate the changes rather than us.

[Comment 8 Beech Horn 2006-03-04 07:50:51 UTC]

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142536 <- The patch has been accepted - as GTK-2.8.13 isn't in official portage (only gnome-experimental) if it does get into portage before 2.8.14 (which will include this patch) could you please include it for WACOM users!

[Comment 9 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2006-03-08 16:32:17 UTC]

.14 which includes this patch is in the overlay. it depends on glib 2.10.1, so its not in the regular tree just yet.

[Comment 10 Beech Horn 2006-03-08 16:50:53 UTC]

Thanks for the heads up :D

From my recent Gentoo experience I think patches like this will need to be kept upstream. Only the linuxwacom development seems to be inactive... If anyone has contact details for the upstream dev(s) could you please send a message or relay them to me.

[Comment 11 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2006-03-14 18:35:01 UTC]

thanks for being patient.  2.8.15 in cvs ( still pmasked for the moment )
