[Bug 496448] New: Tablet support doesn't work with Qt applications
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496448 Summary: Tablet support doesn't work with Qt applications Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: zander@kde.org QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) (Debian) On behalf of the KOffice userbase I am reporting this bug to SUSE. I have received various reports form KOffice users over the last 2 years that their tablets don't work in KOffice on OpenSUSE; http://wiki.koffice.org/index.php?title=Krita/Known_problem_with_packages#Su... «SuSE configures the tablet pointing devices with the names mouse[X] to mouse[X + 3], which confuses Krita. Rename the devices to cursor, stylus and eraser in the xorg.conf» I would guess this is due to suse using a tool to generate the xorg config and it not using the proper wacom-standardized names for tablets. Now, since X11 doesn't allow Qt to find out something like "Is this device a tablet eraser?" or similar, apps like Gimp force the user to select which device names on his system join up with the actual device. In Qt the solution is to use the default wacom names, which means no configuration but standardization.

On behalf of the KOffice userbase I am reporting this bug to SUSE.
I have received various reports form KOffice users over the last 2 years that their tablets don't work in KOffice on OpenSUSE; http://wiki.koffice.org/index.php?title=Krita/Known_problem_with_packages#Su... «SuSE configures the tablet pointing devices with the names mouse[X] to mouse[X + 3], which confuses Krita.

I would guess this is due to suse using a tool to generate the xorg config and it not using the proper wacom-standardized names for tablets.

Reproducible: Always
You're mixing up the Identifier in xorg.conf with the TabletType. SaX2 is using the right TabletType (cursor, stylus, eraser, pad, touch). The used Identifier doesn't matter at all. This bugreport is INVALID. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Who will fix it for gtk+? It's broken in the same way.
Not us. I've opened a new bug #497196 for that. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, see http://rafb.net/p/z7WKMp86.html.
Since this website no longer exists. Thomas, could you attach your patch? This would make it easier for us to fix it also for gtk+. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Does Novell have any non-wacom tablets?
No, we had one (from ALDI I think), but it has never been supported, so I threw it away a few weeks ago. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
