Weird brush when using tablet!

September 25, 2009 - 04:06 — krichevskoy

I'm trying to draw.. when I first installed GIMP it was working just fine. I did nothing to mess with it for it to do this:

The x would be where the mouse arrow would be. and the circle is where the paint brush is! Why is it doing that? I've messed with it feels like all of the preferences in order to get it back to normal.. but nothing works. sad

Any ideas?

Just a thought...

Have you recalibrated the tablet/pen tool?

I've had to do this a couple times using Painter. I'd check to see if there are any driver updates for the tablet, too.

Dual screen?

If you're using dual screen, the tablet width is mapped onto both screens as onto one screen. E.g. if you have two 1280x1024, the tablet width is mapped to 2*1280=2560 pixels. This is why the circle is far righter than the cursor. What is interesting, this weird behavior pertains only to gtk2 apps such as GIMP and Inkscape. Blender, Krita, MyPaint, etc. work well.
Possible solution is to disable dual screen in X config.

How would I go about

How would I go about changing that? Is it under input devices?
