Comment 46 for bug 403421

Robert: I just downloaded and installed Inkscape .48 so may not be seeing the same input information. One thing I do notice is that the input doesn't recognize my tablet pen until I'm actually USING it to make changes. If you're using your tablet mouse to make changes, perhaps the tablet pressure stylus isn't showing up in your input in order to switch it to 'screen'? (You need more than one input for all features of your tablet stylus and mouse (puck) to work) On version .48 I also have a box to check which enables the pressure sensitive tablet (requires program restart). I'm not familiar with the Genius mouse/pen, so don't know if this will help or not.
