Re: [Sugar-devel] Wacom Bamboo with XO?

Okay, Colors! v11 supports Wacom tablets, with pressure sensitivity. Instructions for setup are on the activity page, it's really pretty simple. OLPC folks, it might be nice to update xorg-dcon.conf to support Wacom tablets, and to include the linuxwacom package in builds. I think that deployment

Re: Wacom Bamboo with XO?

I imagine if we could get it working and if the driver isn't too large, the OLPC guys would be willing to include the module in 9.1. Has anyone gotten it compiled and tried the gtk.gdk.Device test yet? -Wade On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 11:34 PM, Chris Marshall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wr

Re: Wacom Bamboo with XO?

For someone with a tablet, it would be nice to see the results of a simple PyGTK program which reports X, Y and Pressure from the gtk.gdk.SOURCE_PEN device, using the gtk.gdk.Device API. http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gdkdevice.html If this works, it would be quite easy to integrate Wacom

Re: Wacom Bamboo with XO?

I'm partly set up to build kernels, I can give it a try at some point. Ultimately though, just mouse position and clicking isn't nearly enough. You *at least* need pressure information for a decent tablet painting experience. On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 1:40 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > gary c

Re: Wacom Bamboo with XO?

If you guys can get a driver working and expose the API, I'll add support to Colors!. It already has support for pressure sensitivity (variable brush size and/or opacity) in the painting engine. -Wade On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 8:04 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > chris wrote: > > Has anyone had

rom QEMU to whatever, say 'OLPC Software Environment 8.2.0'. Then we could have the shortcut run qemu.exe directly and eliminate the command prompt window, for a more seamless experience. Best, Wade On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 4:30 PM, Wade Brainerd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I

I'd love to get the Windows installer capable of installing without issue on Vista, but I lack a Vista machine to test. I would welcome any assistance with this matter! Also, regarding downloading the image instead of bundling it, It easy to modify the installer to download the image. NSIS has a

Sugar installer for Windows

Hi all, I wrote a simple Sugar installer for Windows: http://dev.laptop.org/~wadeb/OLPC-XO-Software-8.2.0-Setup.exe It installs/uninstalls a working Sugar environment (based on Ton van Overbeek's QEMU) with just a few clicks. The installer was built using the open source installer creator NSIS (

Hello, I agree wholeheartedly that ticket triage and statistical analysis is a worthwhile effort, so I think I support what Garrett is talking about. At my employer we have teams of producers constantly watching individual and per-component bug counts, transfering bugs from overworked team member

Re: Build streams; preparing for 8.2 release.

I think I can see Dennis's confusion about packages moving from F9 to F7, the initial writeup contains this: * Stable: Stable builds are specified by their release name (e.g. 8.1.1, > 8.2), and the procedure for packages moving from Testing into Stable > releases involves the Unscheduled Release

Would it be worth setting up a BitTorrent tracker for builds? BitTorrent is very reliable, excellent at resuming, doesn't require command line use, and can take advantage of local seeds. Best, Wade 2008/6/9 Carol Lerche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Here is what I did when I was fighting battles with
