Problem with auto-switching input devices
Hi,
I'm writing for the first time here (I'm reading list for several months ;).
I have some USB trackball and some clone of Aiptek Tablet (it's working
with http://aiptektablet.sf.net/ drivers).
I've managed to configure gimp to see tablet pressure, but there's a problem
with it, normally while using trackball everything works.
But when I start to use pen, it works on drawing area, but I can't click on
antyhing in X Window nor in other windows of Gimp.
(I've just managed to make it not working on drawing area with sequence of
Off -> Screen -> Off -> Screen ->.... in Input Devices).
After closing Gimp I can normally us X Windows (with trackball and tablet).
After running gimp again it has 'pen' selected and I can't choose tool (but
drawing with pressure on working area works like nothing happend :)
As I was looking at the Devices Dialog - after using 'pen' it never switches
back to 'Core Pointer' - is there a way to force switching input device (some
keyboard shortcut would be great :)
Could this problem be related to gimp, or more to tablet drivers?
Now something about system:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0
GIMP 2.0.4 (I'm compiling 2.0.6 in the moment, I'll take some time to
compile :)
XFree config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "pen"
Driver "aiptek"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "absolute"

Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "debuglevel" "20"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
....
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "pen" "SendCoreEvents"
