Gimp Input Devices Dialog shows "No Input Devices"</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>It seems that you have not compiled your gtk with XInput-support.
|
|
Please rebuild gtk and use <EM>./configure --with-xinput=xfree</EM> for building the Makefile. Then do a <EM>make && make install</EM>. Then rebuild your gimp
|
|
so that it uses this extendet gtk.

Only Artpad / Ultrapad Macro stripes work.

<H2><A NAME="ss7.8">7.8 The Wacom Driver eats my CPU Time. Any Hint ?</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>This mostly happes under the following condition:<BR>
|
|
AllowMouseOpenFail was specified and the device is set to /dev/null.
|
|
Set the device to a nonexisting file instead, for example /dev/fake, and you
|
|
will get back your CPU time. See the examples for this under
|
|
the
|
|
<A HREF="Wacom-Tablet-HOWTO-5.html#_Toc465765709">'Port and Device' section</A>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Another reason may be that there were too many interrupts produced.<BR>
|
|
I was told, that hdparm -u1 /dev/hdx (replace x with your drive letter) may help.

|
<H2><A NAME="ss7.9">7.9 The Cursor 'dances' around</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Most Graphire's are known to be weak for that, intuos seems to be better but
|
|
still not perfect. This seems to be a hardware problem.<BR>
|
|
Possible Solutions:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Put your tablet as far as possible away from all emitting devices like
|
|
monitors, printers, computers, AC-adapters.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Use a modified driver with a filter algorythm. Many of them are in development right now but none of them seem to be the cruncher.</LI>
|
|
<LI>If using an IDE drive, try hdparm -u1 /dev/hdx (replace x with your drive letter) </LI>
|
|
</UL>
