Can Anyone Help Me get my bamboo fun pen tablet to work in gimp?
June 6, 2008 - 07:42 — Robbyjk
If there is a solution I need lamen terms to the best of your ability. I Have a bamboo fun pen tablet from wacom and when i try to move the cursor inside any gimp window it freezes? Sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not? In the list of controllers there is a active x controller that I can add to active controllers. What is the latest version of gimp? I have 2.4.6? With a bamboo fun tablet with the latest drivers installed? The tablet works everywhere else except in gimp. Paint.net, journla, input panel, windows paint, photoshop elements 5, and corel painter essentials 3? Just not in gimp?

GIMP BAMBOO
Hello,
I just started using my BAMBOO tablet and only use it in Office applications. The results are not that bath but I'd like to achieve better results. I have Photoshop Elements and consider downloading GIMP. Reading your question brings me to you with my question ... what is your advise ? Working with GIMP or with Photoshop Elements ?
Warm greetings.

Bugzilla Fix No Longer Works
The indicated line in the DLL has been edited and amending it in the hex editor stops gimp from starting up.
Does anyone have an update on this?
I will delete this thread
I will delete this thread soon, unless someone can provide proof that this is still needed.
In my understanding of the problem, recent versions of GTK+ - that are shipped with recent installers of GIMP - should contain this fix already.
Still useful?
I just downloaded GIMP for my Tablet PC, and my pen is not working. I am getting a double image of the cursor on a hover, and there is no response on tapping the screen. I am running 64bit Vista. I will try the answers listed, but I think that this thread is still valid.
Thanks, but...
Thanks to everyone for the hard work, but this doesn't work in 2.6.x?
The downloaded patch prevents GIMP initializing, and line 39180 reads
DB 89 75 F8 89 7D FC 8B 7D 10 E8 51 7C 01 00 89
What am I doing wrong (other than not using 2.4.5)?
EDIT: Er,...Don't know the answer, but putting original .dll back (I left copies of the original and the downloaded patch in separate folders in the bin directory) made it work. If anything, the pen's more responsive than in Photoshop.
Happy now!
It works!
I tried the fix on the bug report, edited the binary with a hex editor and can confirm this works with Gimp 2.4.6.
If you don't fancy hacking the DLL yourself you can download it here: http://dump.bitplane.net/gimpfix/libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll
Close GIMP, download the DLL, copy it to "c:\program files\Gimp 2.0\bin" and restart GIMP. The problem should be fixed :)
The file size is different because I have UPX in my "Send To" menu, no malware I promise! Also this is technically a GPL violation, so expect it to go offline as soon as the FSF threaten to sue me ;)
Have fun!

the link to
http://dump.bitplane.net/gimpfix/libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll
does not work at all
Thank you
Thanks for the DLL! My graphire finally works with GIMP, I can't truly express how happy I am.
Thanks The dll worked like
Thanks
The dll worked like a dream. Hope it helps others
same here
I have the same problem, and I am not using Vista OS. I would hesitate to attempt the posted fix - any other suggestions?? I will check with GIMP if I can find a contact there, and if I come up with anything i will post it here...
got it - you were right...
got it - you were right... but i have to say i used one of my techie friends to do the fix. works fine now
Ididnt mention that I am on Vista
I think that that is an important point to note because vista is different. Home Premium SP1->> 32 bit Os. Dell Iaspiron,530s 2gb of RAM. Processor-Intel PentiumDual CPU E2160 @1.80GHz 1.80GHz
I guess its bets to provide the most info that I can? Sorry I didn't before.
Found a fix!
Found a fix! http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496958 It looks a little complicated, using the hex editor, but find the post that describes the fix, follow its instructions correctly and you're in the clear. Plus, GIMP is GNU, so if you break it you can always download a new one. :D
I cant understand any of that giberish.
But thanks for trying?
I've got this same problem.
I've got this same problem. It's terribly annoying. Regular Bamboo tablet (not Fun); works in absolutely every program in existence BESIDES GIMP. For some reason if I put the cursor in a GIMP window for more than two seconds it stops moving and I have to use my mouse, which is not what I bought the tablet for. Help?
Fix for Vista?
i was about to click the first link and download the DLL but then i saw this stuff about a different fix for Vista? im on Vista, does that mean i shouldn't use the first link?
