Wacom driver < 0.7.6-4 crashes Gimp

[Kristoffer Lundén]

Binary package hint: wacom-tools

Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351246, "dragging brush past edge of scrolling window with wacom tablet causes crash".

This is 100% reproducible for many people on many setups, however upgrading to 0.7.6-4 from the wacom-tools site fixes the problem. The prebuilt driver works OOTB on Edgy at least.

Please consider upgrading the driver as the old version is a proven crasher.

Thanks for your bug report. Can you please attach the crash file for this report? It should be somewhere in /var/crash .

Here it is, with driver 0.7.2-0ubuntu7, the one currently in Edgy and Gimp 2.2.13-1ubuntu3. It's the same crash with the newer wacom driver in Debian and development Gimps too.

Fixed by this upload:

 wacom-tools (1:0.7.7.7-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * Merge with Debian unstable, remaining changes:
      - Bump the epoch because of old Ubuntu packaging.
      debian/control:
       - xserver-xorg-input-wacom: Provides xserver-xorg-input.
       - Change the Maintainer address.
      debian/wacom.postinst:
       - Remove old files.
      debian/xserver-xorg-input-wacom.init.d, debian/rules:
       - Initscript for serial devices.
   * debian/xserver-xorg-input-wacom.init.d:
     - Change the device path to /dev/input/wacom
     - Move the initscript from wacom-tools to the driver, so the driver
       doesn't need to depend on wacom-tools.
   * debian/rules:
     - copy the manpage to the builddir before configuration, otherwise
       the build fails.
     - build with -fno-stack-protector.
