My Tablet and The Gimp

Ok, this is really annoying me. Remember that tablet I got for my birthday? Well, it’s annoying the crap out of me. I can’t use it in The Gimp! It simply is not working. I can use it in any program, but then when I open up The Gimp it freezes up and the pen will only respond in Flash. Oy. I want to start drawing my comic, but my tablet isn’t working!

I sent a query to Adesso help support, but the response was that it has never been tested with The Gimp, and if it isn’t working it simply isn’t compatible. That really pisses me off.

The wierd part is, if I go to the ‘Input Devices’ dialouge in The Gimp, the stylus is listed there. There’s the mouse and the stylus, with a little arrow next to the mouse. If I can figure out how to switch it to the stylus, I can use it. But I don’t know how to do that. Anyone have a clue?
