I just tested it and I see no ill effects from setting ALL of the devices in the list to "Screen" and clicking Save. (By the way, it is extremely inconsistent for this dialog to have Save button, unlike all other dialogs). Pressure sensitivity works. When I close and reopen Inkscape, two of the more weird devices - "core pointer" and "macintosh emulation" - have been reset to "Disabled", but everything related to Wacom is still Screen, and it still works.
Can please everyone, using a tablet or not, test this approach - going into this dialog and setting everything to Screen? If this works on all OSes, we will be able to make this universal screenization automatic, removing the need to ever open this dialog for most people.
Platform: Mac OS X 10.5.8, Xquartz 2.4.0, GTK+ 2.20.1 Hardware: MacBookPro 15.4" (late 2008) built-in Trackpad external USB Mouse (Logitech V450)
Inkscape 0.48 and 0.48+devel r9764 with default settings:
Input Devices Configuration: - the built-in trackpad seems to be recognized as generic tablet, with all devices (pointer, pen, eraser, cursor) disabled, - Core Pointer is set to 'Screen', - pressure-sensitive tablet enabled by default
Changing tablet devices (pointer|pen|cursor|eraser) to 'Screen' or 'Window' works while the dialog is open and can be tested in the hardware tab, but is reset to 'Disabled' after restarting Inkscape (yes, I clicked the 'Save' button before closing the dialog ;) ).
The setting for pressure sensitivity is stored between sessions, but has no influence whether enabled tablet devices (pointer, pen, cursor, eraser) keep their status ('Screen' or 'Window') between sessions.
The Core Pointer cannot be 'Disabled' or set to 'Window', it immediately reverts to 'Screen', with the same console messages as reported by Alvin Penner.
attached (all with 0.48+devel r9764): - configuration (default) - hardware (Core Pointer -> 'Screen') - configuration (trackpad) (not saved between sessions) - hardware (pointer -> 'Screen')
