Drawing offset using Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet

[Mackenzie Morgan]

Kubuntu 9.10
Inkscape 0.47 pre1
Wacom Bamboo Fun 4x5

If I don't configure the extended input stuff:
Drawing happens as expected, but pressure cannot be used.

If I do configure the extended input stuff to use Screen mode:
Pressure works, but drawing happens about 1-1.5 inches below and slightly to the right of the cursor...making it a bit difficult to figure out where I'm drawing.

I don't think this is a driver or GTK+ problem since Gimp handles pressure and location properly.

I'm quite sure that your tablet is *not* configured fully in GIMP. Also, please try MyPaint or any other GTK+ app with extended tablet input support. This is a known issue in 9.10 that needs to be addressed, but I haven't seen any progress on.

MyPaint:
offset by about 40px

Gimp:
offset from pointer by about 40px, but dead center on the "this is where I'm
drawing" circle, so I didn't notice before

Inkscape:
offset by about 200px

The offset is the size of the menus and rulers in each drawing program.
Switch to full screen in MyPaint or remove menus and rulers in Gimp and there is no offset anymore
