7. XFree FAQ - Problems And Questions

7.1 Gnome and Gimp only work like a usual mouse, without pressure and tilt. Gimp Input Devices Dialog shows "No Input Devices"

It seems that you have not compiled your gtk with XInput-support. Please rebuild gtk and use ./configure --with-xinput=xfree for building the Makefile. Then do a make && make install. Then rebuild your gimp so that it uses this extendet gtk.

7.2 Is the wheel of the mouse (cursor) supported ?

Yes, it generates button 4 and button 5 events.

7.3 How can I find out the intuos Serial Num of my tool ?

read the section about Serial_Num

7.4 How do I change the action of each button of my tool?

Read the section about buttons.

7.5 How can I use the intuos/artpad/ultrapad macro area ?

You can not use the intuos macro area, sorry.
Only Artpad / Ultrapad Macro stripes work. Read the section about Gimp Keys.
