Most of the time it just does nothing when you try and draw but you can use it to select tools etc., and sometimes it does the thing where it draws over on the left hand side of the screen instead of where you are putting the cursor. I've got a Trust Tablet (which nobody else seems to have.) and sometimes it works on Inkscape, sometimes it doesn't, but it always works on Paint or Photoshop.
I've just read all of these posts to try and work out what to do, but the solutions either don't work or don't apply to my problems!! The author says he uses his tablet with Inkscape, so maybe he, or someone in that community could help? PS - I was just browsing around the Wacom website, hoping to pick up some clues, and I found this in their forum:
And I'll have to leave that entirely up to users of the tablets, to figure out where and how to report such an issue, because as I said, I don't use a tablet. Please see this topic for info on submitting a bug report:Īs for the former (lack of support for Inkscape with the tablet), then I can only suggest communicating with the maker(s) of the tablet and/or tablet software. And if there is something lacking in Inkscape when using a tablet, this is how you can get it changed or fixed. (I've been advised that a Google search is more comprehensive than the resident search tool.) Launchpad is the avenue through which those who don't participate on the mailing list can communicate with developers. I'm guessing it probably has been reported, but as I said, I haven't extensively researched the issue. Someone who is familiar with Launchpad, search there and make sure that this issue has been reported, either as a true bug, or a wish list "bug". But as for the latter (lack of support for the tablet by Inkscape), I wanted to suggest the following: But just reading through this topic (and there are a few more) it sounds like there does not exist complete support for Inkscape by the tablet or for the tablet by Inkscape I'm not sure which, and maybe it's both.
It might also be worth adding a section to the README saying that there is no patch for Intuos 4 because a clean install of its official drivers works correctly.I haven't extensively researched the issue, only a little bit, to try and help the many people who have visited our forums to get help with their tablet. I'm posting this so that anyone else searching for "Intuos 4" here will find it. I'm not sure if all were necessary, but after deleting this stuff (must have been leftover from the old installation many years ago), redoing brew cask install wacom-tablet, and granting Accessiblity/Input Monitoring permissions, it works!
I knew it was probably a bad idea anyway to be using Intuos 3 drivers for Intuos 4. The cursor started moving proportionally with the pen, but the preferences for the "Functions" and "Grip Pen" were all blank.
I tried the Intuos 3 manual install instructions anyway. I came across this project, and was disappointed to not find Intuos 4 listed.
