Was it the problem stated here or something else? There are a number of problems. Here's my personal view of the problems, and pending fixes: Alexandre has re-factored the patch to move more code into the x11drv. Photoshop 6 seems would function, but would get no pressure, as the messages were passed to no-existant/null windows. Painter 5 couldn't draw properly, due to mis-calculation of screen coords. I beleive the re-factoring was more of a hold-up to release than the bugs I discovered. I also have some extremely verbose trace code that I could add to this patch, although it uses indentations. I used this code to do some debugging on the problems i described above. I'm about to send an e-mail Alexandre to see if he can resurrect an old patch that Aric sent to me, that contained the re-factored code. Hope this helps. I wanted to post a status update/patch review after applying the patch, but this is as good a time as any to break radio silence.

ActiveX and COM are mostly supported under Wine, if it doesn't work you can try using native DCOM - this is documented in various howtos/faqs, like the #winehq channel faq.
Re: Wintab32 - Tablet support - VBtablet & wintab working for Dogwaffle?
I too would be very interested in knowing what's happening with wintab32 under wine - is it usable? How about in conjunction with VBtablet from www.greenreaper.co.uk ? He has a small test program there which reports pressure, angle etc you might want to see if that works. Does somebody on this list have a Wacom, AceCad, Pablo (Disney Magic Artist) or Aiptek tablet to try Dogwaffle with it? project Dogwaffle uses VBtablet. The latest v1.6 demo is at www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/freebies , the free version 1.11b is at download.com and Tucows.com but didn't use VBtablet yet so not interesting (well for tablet users anyway, still might be of interest for entry-level painters; I doubt the installer will work but hey if it does, yipeee). the other day at a show in Anaheim I tried some things with the help of someone from The Linux Box, was neat to see Carrara Studio 2 running on it. Few minor glitches but still sweet. I'm interested in seeing Dogwaffle qualified/working etc. Anyone here serious about making this work? contact me if you need an NFR copy to test. A general question: Dogwaffle uses COM, ActiveX communication channels (I don't know much details). Anybody have a feeling if that's a no-no under Wine? -Philip > A couple of months ago there was a patch from Aric Stewart that added > support for graphics tablets in wine.
