Thanks a lot for trying it.

I'm going to remove my tablet to see problems. :(
The patch did generate 2 sets of events and I'm still trying
to filter unneccessary events properly. Drag'n'drop with tablet
device doesn't work too.

Ok, thanks a lot. Let me try to clean it first but that would take a while.
--disable-xinput should work in case that you applied it to the current
local CVS tree and want to keep it.

To check out the testpressure util, try..

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gna.org:/cvs/garma login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gna.org:/cvs/garma co garma

will checkout the whole garma cvs tree.

a new shot showing opacity by pressure and also a happy new year
message for all.)

I am thinking of moving garma into gna's arch to match my local setting.
May be GNUstep can have one sync'ed with the CVS too? Has anyone tried Bazaar?
