Hi,
This is more a question for the developers....
Should have posted to wine-devel then :) Doing so now.
A couple of months ago there was a patch from Aric Stewart that added support for graphics tablets in wine. However I have not heard anything about it since. Is anybody still working on this? Graphics tablet support is the only thing stopping us from using Photoshop under Linux at the present time. Moving all our graphics artists off dual booting windows machines would be extremely benificial!
I tried the original patch but found it affected the > stability of wine...
I noticed that in the original patch a lot of functions were called from DllMain that shouldn't be called from there. Did the backtrace include wintab32.DllMain?
The initialisation should probably be moved to either each function with a line like "if (!initialised) Initialise();"
Alexandre, how come this patch hasn't been included in Wine yet? Was it the problem stated here or something else?
Daire

There are a number of problems.
Here's my personal view of the problems, and pending fixes: Alexandre has re-factored the patch to move more code into the x11drv. Photoshop 6 seems would function, but would get no pressure, as the messages were passed to no-existant/null windows. Painter 5 couldn't draw properly, due to mis-calculation of screen coords.
I beleive the re-factoring was more of a hold-up to release than the bugs I discovered.
I also have some extremely verbose trace code that I could add to this patch, although it uses indentations. I used this code to do some debugging on the problems i described above.
I'm about to send an e-mail Alexandre to see if he can resurrect an old patch that Aric sent to me, that contained the re-factored code.
Hope this helps. I wanted to post a status update/patch review after applying the patch, but this is as good a time as any to break radio silence.
Bye -Rob.
