Hi
I run Leopard and have recently installed XQuartz X11 2.2.3 for the
purpose of experimenting with Inkscape and some Gimp. It seems the
pressure sensitivity isn't working in either, and some research
indicate it has to do with this implementation of X11, and something
called XInput not being implemented.
Not really. It doesn't actually have much to do with XInput. XInput
has more to do with direct access to the hardware. We have Quartz
between us and the hardware, so it doesn't make sense to actually
implement XInput.
The various forum posts I've found are a bit dated, is there some
more recent news on this, or if it can be implemented by manually
compiling it perhaps?
Tablet support is partially implemented in 2.3.0, but there are some
bugs with it that I can't debug because I don't have a tablet (I
loaned mine to Ben, so hopefully he'll be able to take a look at these
issues). Additionally, GTK doesn't seem to like the way we send
information about pressure, tilt, etc to it, and nobody over in
GTKland has responded to our questions about tablets in X11, so we're
mostly waiting for a GTK developer to step up and point to what they
need from us.
I also understand a native version of GTK is in the works, but
considered experimental.
"Native GTK" has nothing to do with X11. I don't know anything about
its internals, but I assume it uses Cocoa rather than X11.
Does this use Quartz instead of X11? And if so, if I followed the
directions to compile Inkscape using it (found here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX
), would that enable pressure sensitivity?
I have no idea.
