Bug: Problems with WinXP tablet PC cursor in fullscreen

SDL Development

Hi tuxpaint-devel & sdl readers…

Someone reported this via SourceForge earlier this month (so, 0.9.14 vers.)

I have a tablet PC running windows XP tablet edition
and everything works fine in windowed model. In
fullscreen mode I can use the mouse pad to draw, but
when I touch the screen with the stylus the cursor
moves around erraticly, going from one side of the
screen to the other very quickly.

Any ideas?–

Did this build use DirectX or WinDib? If it was DirectX, it’s probably
worth seeing if Windib fixes it (and we’ll add it to the list of
interesting things that are now broken in our directinput code…).

DirectX. Having people switch to WinDib[*] seems to be fixing it.

[*] As per these instructions:
