I know we're drawing close to a release of 0.47 and I'm not sure that the developers know that the current development builds do not seem to work with Graphics tablets. I'm a little concerned I'm going to be stuck using 0.46 until 0.48 :)
I can confirm the issue with my Wacom Intuous 3 on both Vista 64bit and XP 32 bit. I can confirm that the tablet works in 0.46 for both Vista and XP. I can confirm that on Vista the tablet also works on GIMP 2.6.4.
I can confirm that tablets did work in builds dated around September 2008.
I can also confirm that the Windows XP default drivers for tablets work with 0.46+devel (but I didn't test that pressure worked). It's only after installing the Wacom drivers did interaction with the canvas stop completely.
The tablet works to interact with any of the controls, it just doesn't work to draw on the canvas.
I also know that one of the RC drivers Wacom released killed support in ALL GTK applications. I reverted to the older drivers when that happened.
I'm happy to help test however I can. I'm running XP in a virtual PC so can get quite destructive.
I've included these detail in https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/334800

I deleted my preferences.xml, letting Inkscape create a new one. Went into the Input Devices menu and finished the setup.
Doing this solved the problem for me.

I just downloaded the Oct 24 Windows build and found that my tablet isn't working properly with it.
I can move the cursor with tablet pen, but when I press on the tablet nothing draws. I tried toggling the "Use pressure" button.
My tablet still works fine in 0.46 and was working in an earlier build I was using last night (I don't think it was more than a week or two old). Let me know if you require a bug logged for this. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tablet-stopped-work- in-Dev-builds-tp20171213p20171213.html Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
