12:21 a.m.
The input devices settings (for extended input, e.g. tablet) have
changed some time ago to a different format. Now, I can set the stylus
device to Screen to have it pressure sensitive as expected, and it is
also stored as this in the preferences.xml, but on reload if forgets
this setting.
My stylus device is called Stylus0, the eraser Eraser0. Setting the
eraser to screen mode, in the preferences.xml I see something like
<group
keys=";;;;;...
axes="x;y;pressure;xtilt;ytilt;wheel"
mode="screen"
id="E:Eraser0" />
but no such entry for stylus or Stylus0 exists and is created...

OK. I think I have a track on that. It appears the number is sometimes appended when it is
one or more, but other times it is always appended.
It really should only be happening if there is some problem with the tablet config, so
it's a bit hard to test. However it's good that the functionality was starting to
work for you.

I have a follow up for this (for me) not yet resolved situation: on my
setup, which is a xinerama desktop, I need the tablet to be fixed on one
screen (otherwise the resolution on the tablet would be too small or the
tablet would not maintain the aspect ratio.
Therefore I need to specify the screen constraints in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Stylus0"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Screen_No" "0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Eraser0"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Screen_No" "0"
EndSection
On the other hand, not specifying these, I get the automatic name
"Wacom Graphic 4 6x8", which I cannot restrain to screen no. 0 without
the extra option.
Now, in Inkscape in the extended inputs, Stylus0 appears, as does
Eraser0, but also Wacom Graphic 4 6x8 (which appears to be also a stylus
device, hence the P: prefix in the configuration file, but the little
icons in front of the names in the dialog show the Stylus0 and the mouse
and Pad0 as normal mouse devices, and Wacom Graphic 4 6x8 and eraser get
a Pen-like symbol.
Enabling screen for the Wacom Graphire4 6x8 device and Eraser0 is
stored, but *NOT* for Stylus0, I have to set it on every program start.
So, there are two questions: Why does the dialog think the stylus0
device is NOT a pen device (more in this direction I'll probably have to
ask in the wacom driver mailing list), and second, why are the settings
for non-pen devices (such as Mice and in my case the Stylus0 device) NOT
stored in the preferences file? only the pen devices are stored.... :(
BTW: what's it with the list settings? pressing reply only sends an
email to the originator of the email I'm replying to, never to the
list... I'll always have to set the to: manually... or use reply all,
but this generates only a cc: to the inkscape list... I have no such
problems e.g. on the mplayer list.
