Just wanted to toss out a note that I think I've found a main problem with how Inkscape deals with extended input devices. The issue where they give no extended pressure, etc. on later GTK2, including that in Ubuntu 11.10, is due to missing event initialization.
I'm trying to narrow it down a bit. Of course, there are still some other bugs that appear to give random garbage in the middle of extended input. There's a good chance that a simple work-around could even filter those out.
So, the main thing now is to know if anyone is trying to use tablets currently and is tripping over GTK2 extended input problems. Speak on up and we might be able to get things at least passible soon.
Thanks.
Hi Jon, I am using 0.48.2 on windows with a Wacom 4 small tablet using the mouse and pen devices. - Not using pressure sensitivity but tablet working for me. - With pressure sensitivity on - I get an occasional blip of a wider brush - else pressure changes are not visible. - Inkscape does not detect change from mouse to pen to eraser. - Input devices area does not show/register axes etc as I imagine it might...
Alas I cannot compile C. Happy to help out with testing and screwup my system trying to improve matters. I believe strongly in Inkscape and would like the tablet to be fully supported. Mark...

Thanks for your support Mark :-) If you want to compile Inkscape, it is quite easy to do so on Windows. The instructions: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows If you have any trouble with it, let us know.
Ciao, Johan
I usually just download the latest TDM GCC from this site: http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download I would recommend taking the 32 bit bundle installer.
Any objections if I update the Wiki page to point to the site above instead of the direct download?

First hurdle - TDM-MinGW 4.5.1 http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%20Installer/tdm-gcc-4.5.1.exe/download is not current or available. Closest I can find following your link is in here but which one? (compiling on 32 bit windows SP3 but also have 64 win7 system) http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%204.5%20series/Previou... or am I supposed to use one of these: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%20Installer/
I already have putty and am installing bazaaar now

Not at all, go ahead. We should always be able to compile with latest TDM-GCC.
Thanks, Johan

line440 of buildtools.cpp did not help me work out what went wrong. Suggestions ?
I think -lgomp is for OpenMP (?). During install of TDM-GCC, did you enable OpenMP support?
(I am in Inkscape's chat channel at this moment to help you out)

Thanks everyone - all sorted - instructions are straightforward. Congrats

I'm using the Inkscape dev trunk ppa on Ubuntu 11.10 with a Wacom Intuos3.
Pressure currently doesn't work at all.
What do you need? How can I help?

Well... I think I've isolated the differences on our support. That is why we get nothing at all while GIMP will get input with occasional glitches.
Our code is setting up a custom gdk window instead of relying on a gtk widget. Might take me a day or so of work to get it to a more testable point. I'd done some tweaks to get input events to arrive, but they aren't resulting in drawing yet.
