Hi
I want to configure the tablet for GIMP on my linux box. I referred to
this blog[1], but it assumes that GIMP recognizes input device[2].
I am running GIMP 2.8.20 on x86_64 GNU/Linux ArchLinux 4.11.3 and it
does not recognize my device[3].
1. X recognizes my tablet: [Xinput Command log];
2. When xev captures [Mouse Button Release], buttons 1/2/3 has states
0x110/0x210/0x410 respectively;
3. Whereas, that in case of [Tablet Button Release], the eight buttons
1/2/3/8/9/10/11/12 respectively are captured with state 0x10 for each
of them.
But the tablet and pen do provide pointer input to the X, which seems to
be forwarded to GIMP.
How may I configure the following for GIMP
+ Pressure sensitivity
+ Tablet Buttons
[Xinput Command log]

[Mouse Button Release] (using xev)
ButtonRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,

[Tablet Button Release] (using xev)

This is the same question posted on SO[4]. But I had no luck to find an
answer there. And by now.. the thread would have died out of people's
inbox(es)
