HI

I've built Gimp without X11 thinking I could use my pen tablet in it, but Gimp, even running in Quartz, don't recognize it. is there a way around that would made possible to use my pen tablet (a Wacom Bamboo fun) and pressure sensitivity in Gimp without rebooting under Linux (what I'm doing currently)? I don't mind running it under X11 or Quartz, but Apple's X11 doesn't support XInputEvent. may be XDarwin does ? And if so, how could I build the linuxwacom module ? I need the Kernel headers for this.

I would report this problem upstream to the gimp developers. (http:// www.gimp.org). It is likely that gimp is relying on highly linux- specific device discovery mechanisms that degrade to very generic mechanisms on OS X to discover and manage alternate input devices.

I would not expect the linuxwacom module to work on OS X even if you did get the linux kernel headers, because the linux and OS X kernels use different hardware management mechanisms.
