Re: Problem with Wacom drivers

Hi, sounds you stumble over a known issue in GTK, read on in issue 496958.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496958

You would need to use a patched gtk lib (libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll) to fix this
Bamboo issue

Here the important part from the issue referenced above:

You will also need a hex editor.

Open libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll. When patching GIMP, open the file from
the bin directory inside the GIMP directory, this
version of the DLL should be 617992 bytes.

Menu search, goto.
Offset: 39180 for GIMP

Your cursor should now be at the hexadecimal offset you've entered, you should
see this sequence of bytes:

  32 00 00 00 8B 4D 88 89 85 E4 FD FF FF B8 E1 15

Type 00 to overwrite the 32 at the start with 00. It will become red. Save the
file, close HxD and try the program again.


regards,
Martin
