I also tried enabling the Pad element (from Disabled to Screen) and left the pressure curve alone-I liked the results better when the pad was disabled and only the pen was enabled, but I don't know know many of the nitty gritty details about how tablets work, and you may want to play around with how these two elements interact when they're both enabled.īeyond that, the tools in Gimp themselves have Dynamics options that can change the effect that input from your tablet has on what you're drawing. You can edit the Pressure Curve here to change sensitivity settings. From there you can click on the pen element of your Intuos, and you'll see a drop-down menu next to Mode. You should see the different elements of your tablet listed. Go to Edit > Preferences > Input Devices then click Configure Extended Input Devices. So I'm afraid my response is going to look really long, but it's not difficult to set this up, just a bit time consuming-I promise!

And while it isn't a highly technical process, it is a bit tedious. With Gimp, you have to activate your tablet first. I grabbed my boyfriend's tablet to test out my answer to your question, and at first I was stumped because I knew I had the drivers, that his tablet was supported, and the device was being recognized, but when I tried drawing in Gimp, changes in pressure were not having any effect. However, I suspect that the real issue that you're having is that within each program (like Gimp, Krita), you need to configure your tablet. If you wanted to see the other settings available to be changed, enter xsetwacom list parameters I ended up liking 0 12 92 100 for Gimp.įor reference, if you had zero sensitivity for your stylus (it's either 'off' or 'on'), the PressureCurve setting would be 0 0 100 100 'xsetwacom -set' tells your computer that you want to change the settings, the name of your stylus replaces, PressureCurve is the specific property you're changing the values of, and '0 15 85 100' is just an example setting-this is the part you probably will want to tinker with. Xsetwacom -set '' PressureCurve 0 20 80 100 You want to change the PressureCurve setting for your stylus: Since you already know which specific property you want to edit, you don't need to go through the trouble of searching through all the possible parameters. Please note that the name might not look exactly like what's above-the dimensions (6x9) might be different or not there at all, or it may be called Wacom Intuos L 6x9 Pen (without the 'stylus')-use the specific name that you see listed in your Terminal output. The part to the left of the id number is the name of the component, which you will call when changing its settings, so you need to remember that. Where stands in for some number that gets assigned to that component. Wacom Intuos L 6x9 Pen stylus id: type: STYLUS In that list, you should be able to pretty easily identify which one is your stylus. This should return a list of elements of your tablet that are configurable. You can change the pressure settings for the stylus itself via command line (personally I have not gotten the GUI, in gnome-system-control, to work).Ĭheck that the tablet is being recognized by your computer by opening Terminal or another CLI and entering: lsusb
