Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gimp
Starting with Feisty, Wacom boards work out of the box, except for
pressure sensitivity.
Steps needed to enable pressure today are (in Gimp, about the same in
Inkscape and maybe others):
1. File->Preferences
2. Input Devices->Configure extended input devices
3. For each of eraser, stylus and cursor: change Mode from Disabled to Screen
4. Save
For most people, this is just some invocation they have to do and most
don't even know what those steps do, or why there's an option to choose
Screen or Window and so on.
Given that the system correctly detects and activates the Wacom board,
it should be possible to just switch these settings on for affected
applications as well. For that matter, if these settings are just set
whether or not there is a board, does anything break or could this be a
reasonable default in the config files?
For the rare case that someone wants to use a Wacom, but without
pressure, this is exposed directly in tool in the Gimp, as you can
control what aspects pressure should affect. This setting is viewable
and changeable during use, unlike the actual activation.
Suggestion:
Activate pressure sensitivity by default, for everyone, for Wacom
tablets.
