I tried to "install" my wacom tablet into the Gimp program, but nothing happened. In Gimp,

I went under Preferences, went to "Input Devices" and clicked on "Configure Extended Input Devices". A pop-up came up and said "No Extended Input Devices". I checked the current "Input Controllers" to see if the tablet was already listed there, but it wasn't.

I really need some help with this please. Thanks!

If you are using Windows, run at least once the utilities provided with the tablet. One of them creates a tablet properties file and it seems Gimp uses that to determine if a tablet is available. Sorry I can't be more specific, I'm now running Linux.

From a W7 user in GimpForum:

I added DirectX DirectInput [in devicerc] as active controller in the input controllers section of input devices. After a restart Gimp was able to recognize my Wacom-device.

Hi Ofnuts,

I was just going through my mail and trying to figure out if I could offer some assistance. Only after re-reading a few of the mails on the list did I realize you had solved your issue...

I added solved to the subject line so that if another user searches the archives with this problem they will find your solution more easily.

If I am incorrect and you are still having problems try posting a bit more information

This didn't end up solving the problem at all. But it kind of work itself out but now I have another problem. :/

Now I can't use any other colours except black and white. :/ I cant use any other colours with my pen but I can with my mouse.
