A LINUX Version

[Deevad]

ps: I agree with Deevad that linuxwacom isn't yet perfect (specially expresskeys), but it progress a bit every day, and for my point of view it's already useable for a pro. Linuxwacom developpers needs a few more time to integrate new hardwares after they are released than if Wacom did it themselves, that's it... but they do very good work.)

Sure they do good work and things move a bit from my side ; today I tested Mandriva spring 2008 (live CD) ; Intuos 3 auto recognise ; and cintiq 12wx work as a simple tablet ( screen shut done) but work well. Hotplug was configured to. I still have problem with Ubuntu or Kubuntu ( even with a complete instalation) . Gentoo don't load it with live CD...

-The security dongle: someone did a patch for it (see here : http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=2229 ) I didn't succes using it as I don't know much about programming...

This is not a TVPaint issue. So let wine developers improve it

-The "amelioration de la précision option" (tested with a demo) produce a bug, stylus doesn't draw anymore..

This is an option that depends on the Wacom drivers. If it does note work with wine it is because of Wine. I think Wacom driver are not fully supported by Wine.

If ONLY those two things were corrected, I think TVPaint could say: "It's now Wine compatible" (as the audio software Reaper does.)
It would sure bring more TVPaint users!

If we would like TVP Animation to work on Linux, we will not develop a Wine compatible software but a Linux based software. For now nothing is planed but you will be informed as soon as a new version exists.

Ok Patrice, thank you for this answer. Sure as already said a native version would be much better than a Wine compatibility!
I hope it won't take too long before you plan it

Maybe a good news :

On dirait que ça bouge un peu de ce côté là... enfin !
J'espère que ça va se concrétiser pour Jaunty

Très bonne nouvelle, car une cible de cette amélioration est la prise en compte de la cintiq 12WX qui est ininstallable depuis 1 an et demi ( date de sortie ) sous Linux. ( ou alors si, mais sans accélération graphique du GPU , et sans le bouton de swich screen, ou en simple tablette graphique ) . Pour les possesseur comme moi qui ne peuvent pas exploiter leur matériel sur les distribution s'en est devenu frustrant .

C'est sûr que ca va aider une interface graphique pour configurer la wacom, j'espère que ca résoudra bien ton problème de cintiq12wx.
