N-Trig Tablet Functinality

I apologize if this is not the correct method to bring up this feature request.
GIMP currently supports Wacom tablets and pressure sensitivity using the command line argument --use-wintab (for windows), but it does not appear to recognize N-Trig pressure sensitive tablets. N-Trig currently supplies HP and Dell tablets with digitizer pen and touch functionality and has recently partnered with Microsoft re: Windows 7.

I believe the N-Trig has SDKs available for download. The reason I bring this up is because there are very limited commercial options for N-trig pressure sensitivity recognition - Adobe and JASC/Corel do not support N-Trig, and while there are some sketch pad programs that do, nothing with the functionality that GIMP provides exist. Would it be possible to add this feature to GIMP?

I'm a GIMP user and recently purchased a new tablet PC. The program is excellent and I recommend it to my friends.

Thanks for your time,

Nick Caylor

Adding support for tablets is done in GTK+.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343773 might be interesting for you. Please note that all new features need someone who codes them (hint).

HTH,
