Did you select one of the components of the tablet, in the list on the left? This list mentions the various peripherals. For example, for me it contains four entries for the Wacom tablet. If I select one of them, all entries under Axes specify a number.Yes i did, in fact there are 3 entries: Core pointer (my mouse) Wacom Tablet Eraser Wacom Tablet Pressure Stylus Doesn't matter if i start Gimp with the mouse, stylus, airbrush... I get these 3.
Notice that the airbrush isn't in there. But both the Eraser and Stylus have a "Roulette:rien" line under the "Axes" table
I guess i should find some "WACOM Tablet Airbrush" line on the left for the airbrush ? And choosing that would lead to having a "Roulette" entry under the "Axes" table ? So does it mean that the driver isn't presenting the full array of available pens to GIMP ?
Probably because you are looking at your mouse or something else?Well, i am surely looking at the stylus, but not at the mouse, that's for sure. In fact I choose "Eraser" or "Stylus" to get to see that list with the wheel.
Clearly the Wacom support on Windows is inadequate. Whether it's GIMP's or Windows' or GTK+'s fault, I don't know, but the GIMP developers certainly know. Look at the two different states of the Input Devices dialog I attach to this message. The various Wacom pens are not specifically detected by the input device support, since when I took the two attached sceenshots, I was not even using the tablet. And the Wheel line is present for all Wacom components, including the eraser, the cursor (i.e., the Wacom mouse), and the pad.
Try the last version, 12.04. I hate the Unity environment, but you may like it, or change to Gnome 3 or even something similar to Gnome 2.Understood ! In fact i already have an old Ubuntu Karmic Koala somewhere on another hard drive. I'll boot on that later.
That's a version of Ubuntu much too old. GIMP 2.8 does not work with 11.04, and I understand that having it to work with 11.10 needs a little preliminary work. With 12.04, it's directly accessible via apt-get or similar tools.
And we can continue this conversation privately in French.Well, why not, but since this info might help someone else on the forum, I don't mind carrying on in English.
As you like. -- Olivier Lecarme
