Using of mac driver completely breaks tablets support?

[Andrey Upadyshev]

Hi All!

I've installed a Wine 1.5.31 instead of 1.4.smthng and found that tablets
support is broken. Some research gives me that wintab32 DLL fails to init
because winemac driver doesn't implement tablet related functions
(LoadTabletInfo etc) unlike x11 driver.

I'm a Wine newcomer so probably I get something wrong about it...

How can I switch back to x11 driver?

BR,
Andrey Upadyshev

No, you're correct.  The Mac driver does not yet support tablet input devices.

In the registry, set the following:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers]
"Graphics"="x11"

Some of the basics of how to do that (although not this specific thing) are documented at <http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys>.

You should probably document this setting on the wiki and/or in the FAQ.

I've added it to:
http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

and to winetricks (macdriver=mac / macdriver=x11):
