OK so that's bug #1. A screenshot would help to show exactly how the cursor pointer does not coincide with what actually happens in Gimp. > > Secondly, the script which sets up the buttons and which worked in > Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 does not work in 10.04. The script is attached. What version of xsetwacom is used on Ubuntu 9.04? The version on Lucid is 0.10.5. According to the guide about xsetwacom[1], the format accepted by the xsetwacom command differs from the one you are using. In your script, to set pad attributes you basically do: xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo pad" AbsWDn "CORE KEY - " while the guide has examples along the lines of: xsetwacom set pad AbsWDn "CORE KEY - " Similary, for the stylus, your script does: xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo" TPCButton "off" while the guide has examples like this: xsetwacom set Stylus TPCButton "off" If you change the script so that lines 14 and 15 read: test "x$PAD" = "x" && PAD="pad" test "x$STYLUS" = "x" && STYLUS="Stylus" does it make a difference? Otherwise, I suggest you try the commands individually from the command line to see what works and what doesn't and update your script accordingly. For those that don't work, the package to report the bug against is xserver-xorg-input-wacom [1] http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/xsetwacom > > There is a further problem which is not connected with the Wacom but I > include the reference to the bug report because it may be useful. > > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612956 > That's probably unrelated. Apparently the fix has been committed in Gimp 2.6 so it should only be a matter of time until it is fixed in Ubuntu. On the other hand, it could be useful to ensure that the bug is also reported in Ubuntu Launchpad so that there is visibility from the Ubuntu packagers.
