I've added the first cut of extending tablet support to switch tool based on input device being used. If anyone has a tablet and could give it a spin that would help.
Does not work for me, checked the checkbox, restarted inkscape. Platform is WIN32, tablet is WACOM ET-0405-U, works in the gimp

Thanks. That's the kind of checking we need.
As long as you have pressure working in Inkscape, it should be getting *some* extended info.
Can you bring up the "Input Devices..." and see what different devices are listed in there? I would hope to see at least two in the combo-box dropdown at the top. Getting that list from you might help.
Thanks.

BTW, I just remembered one possibility. In my X11 config I have the ExpressKeys set up as a separate device names "pad". (That's common for intuos3 and graphire4 tablets I think). Anyway, to avoid getting the wrong things happening the code is set to ignore switches to any device named "pad". If that name happens to be reported for your configuration, you can go into desktop-events.cpp and change "pad" to "padXXX" or some such.
In the near term I am working on a replacement input config dialog. Once that is done there won't be a need for that hardcoded work-around.
Hey, I never noticed this dialog ! It lists the /WACOM Tablet Pressure Stylus/ as well as the /WACOM Tablet Pressure Eraser/ and /WACOM Tablet Puck Tansducer/. Initially I did not had the puck listed (I never use that). I dropped it on the tablet for the first time whith the dialog opened and suddendly the left mouse button event did not work anymore on the canvas, and all of this ended with a crash. On a fresh restart: Regular mouse is the selection tool Switch to the puck-> tools switches to caligraphy. Tool works but result is shifted (cursor coordinates are different from drawn ones) Mouse buttons do not work wile the puck sits on the tablet (but cursor moves) Remove the puck, use stylus: tools stay the same: works fine (no more shift)
Another funny sequence: Use the puck ( => tool caligraphy) switch to stylus, select tool pen, draw back to the puck, tool stays the pen
But if in this sequence at any moment I draw with the regular mouse (even if the tool switching occured with the stylus), when coming back to the puck, the tool switches back to caligraphy.
If you want me to try other scenarios, jsut ask for ;)
Kind regards, Aubanel.

If it's any help, I also have the same configuration (Win XP and WACOM ET-0405-U "Wacom Graphire 1" pad), with "Inscape peferences"->"mouse"->"Use pressure-sensitive tablet(requires restart)" checked.
In inkscape build "Inkscape0802221719" I have two input devices listed: "Wacom Tablet Pressure Stylus"; and "Wacom Tablet Eraser Stylus".
If I select the Pressure stylus settings, none of the pressure or tilt settings can be altered. The drop-down boxes list values "1"; "2" and "none", but always change back to "none" no matter what I select.
If I select the eraser stylus settings, the presure can be set in the drop-down. Selecting "1" and "2" effects the settings for X and Y (setting seem mutualy exclusive), and pressure for the eraser stylus can only be set to effect the X and Y position of the cursor as nothing happens when eraser pressure setting is set to "3".
Also noticed the dialog seems to randomly ignore drop-down selection (particularly if I first try altering the tilt settings), and the save button seems redundant as the setting changes have imediate effect.
The Wacom mouse "puck" wasn't listed at all, but sort of worked, except it didn't recognise mouse button clicks in the drawing area.

Arghh! Sorry - I now notice a button in the calligraphy toolbar (an arrow on a slope) to "Use the pressure of the input device...". Once this is enabled, the devices dialog then works as expected.
Could the pressure drop-downs not be greyed out, and a "Use the pressure of the input device..." button also be included in the dialog?
I also notice the puck is now listed after restarting inkscape, and it is actually drawing somewhere offset to the right and down (was out of the visible area).

That's probably a good idea to address it in some manner. You could enter a bug about reducing this confusion.

This is sounding a bit like it could be GTK+ bugs on Win32.
I'll probably be getting a wiki page updated for that (tablets on Win32) and start looking into it a little more. Of course, it's slightly hard for me to work on here on a Mac. :-)
The second issue sounds like:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/166919 "GTK BUG: pointer shifted relative to tablet pen position"
which links to:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154657 "Tablet puck or stylus doesn't track properly in relative (mouse) mode (wintab)"

I've entered a "bug" report (Bug #196195) for the UI issues.
(The puck drawing position problem does sound like the GTK bug already reported, Bug #166919, so I will leave it at that)
I've got an Intuos 3 that appears to be working all right as far as pressure goes.
Contextual tool switching isn't working. I can use any tool with the stylus, but when I use the eraser, it starts out with the Sculpt tool (node tweak) and the stylus is then set to it also. After that, both tools are always the same.
I haven't tried my mouse yet.
I'm on linux (gentoo)
Anything else I should try?

Two pens/styluses on one wacom? :)

Same behaviour with me. I'm using win32 nightly Inkscape0802291457.7z with a Graphire 3.
If I start with the eraser end it is the select tool. switching to the stylus switches to calligraphy. From then on the eraser end follows the stylus end's setting.
Pressure works on both ends.
