Comment 3 for bug 490448

Well good news. Thanks for the suggestion regarding configuring the input devices. :)

Having now reinstalled v0.47 to give it a another try. I took a look at the Input Devices dialog and found the problem seems to have been caused by the eraser stylus being set to "disabled" by default. I set both the pressure stylus and eraser stylus to "screen" and found the pen then worked fine.

I have since saved these settings closed and restarted the program and my Wacom pad now seems to be recognized automatically by default and seems to be working fine . So touch wood it looks like my problem is fixed. But obviously if I have this problem again I know how to fix it now.

That said, obviously it would be better if it worked properly by default rather than having to reconfigure things :)
