Is it bad if this is putting a character in my mind and making me want to write her?

Tablet goodness

So in my brief fit of cleaning yesterday, I found the stylus for my tablet under my desk. "YaY," I think, I can now use the tablet again!

Put pen to tablet. Nada. Pointer not moving. Grab the mouse. Works fine. K, thinks I, I need to change the battery in the stylus (yes, my stylus uses a AAA. It lasts a year or so, usually.) Still nothing.

"GAH!" I think.

So I download and reinstall the drivers...

OMG. The pointer NOW goes everywhere, all over the screen.

Ok, reboot. We'll try rebooting having reinstalled the drivers. It's USB, so it shouldn't /need/ that... But!

Well, immediately after reboot while everything's still loading, right after the tablet drivers load, it works fine... but when I open up PSP to draw... all over the place again. "GAH!" I say.

It's obviously a software conflict now. Start closing things. Ahha! Found the culprit. I'm using Gaim, which is an IM client (allowing me to only run one program for both ICQ and AIM, yay).

So now I have to close my IM client. Fine. Now I open The Gimp to draw... DAMN IT! ALL OVER! ...WT... oh, waaaaait. Gaim uses the Gimp Toolkit (GTK). Gimp uses the Gimp toolkit. What do you know, crappy tablet support is a /known/ defect in the GTK.

So now I have tablet working AND can run Gaim - all I have to do is use the Gimp command line switch that turns off the broken tablet support.

Happy Leti.
