Drawing tablets and touchscreens (e.g., Tablet PCs) work fine with Tux Paint,
but only insofar as they appear as a regular mouse.

That is, SDL (and, hence, Tux Paint) does not recognize things like:

  • pressure
  • eraser
  • tilt

If your ‘kgear’ (or whatever it’s called) can work on your platform
(Windows, X11, whatever) as a regular mouse pointer, SDL and SDL-based apps
should see it as such, and should work fine.

But, again, you’ll be missing the nifty stuff listed above.

Anyone working on supporting those in SDL, at least across Windows, Linux
and maybe Mac OS X? (Do people still use that?)

i would imagine there are some nice tablets in use somewhere, but these ‘home
computer’ things are a bit clunky, but would be nice to have running fully
featured in sdl.----------------------------------------------------------------
