I had to reinstall my tablet drivers after something stupid happened and now GIMP (I have 2.6.8) won't recognise it.

It doesn't show up in the Input Devices thing either.

nor does the make and model of your "tablet device" or the steps/drivers you have attempted

And functional crystal balls are quite rare and expensive.

What platform is this? And 2.6.8 is rather old, you should upgrade before trying anything else.

additionally to what Michael said, I also remind that you have to connect the tablet *before* starting GIMP for the program to see it. That's a common mistake of users (though I certainly don't blame them. I think this should be improved on our side. Maybe someday…).

GTK+ 3.x has complete hotplug support and GIMP's gtk3-port branch uses it. This is impossible in GTK+ 2.x.

Nice! :-) How advanced is this branch? Is this expected to be merged to master soon?

Nope, this will be GIMP 3.0, first we need 2.10 out :)
