Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xgl
Hi, I have a wacom tablet that works as an extended input device under Xorg -- Gimp, Inkscape et al can see it correctly and process stylus pressure and tilt values that are reported by the device. (Note that I had to reconfigure the standard "Configured Mouse" device entry to point at a device-specific /dev node rather than /dev/input/mice for this to be the case - but that's not the problem that I'm reporting.) If I reconfigure my machine to use Xgl rather than the standard Xorg X server, extended input devices are no-longer visible to X applications -- despite the fact that the server configuration is unchanged, and both of the X server logs in the Xgl configuration indicate that the Wacom drivers are loaded and the Wacom tablet detected. The end result is that, whilst the tablet can still function as a basic pointer device, the additional tilt and pressure information is not available. Google suggests that this is a not-uncommon problem (See [0],[1]), but I didn't see a bug open to track the issue.
