Comment 4 for bug 418347

Hello Celt,
thnx for answering.

In between I helped myself with a sort-of workaround: I don't install
the Trust Tablet driver and use the built in driver (of Win7 under
Win7) instead, after I realised, that the tablet has similar problems
with gimp.

Curious: The former problem with Inkscape dissappeared under Win7 with
Inkscape 0.47-3.

Too bad that the sensitivity of the tablet is now gone (works just
like a mouse) and there is no way of adapting to different screens
(4:3, 16:10 etc.) but it works.

If this is worth mentioning, feel free to post it.

Greetings
Ralf Haerter
