I read that Synfig doesn’t work with tablets outside Wacom. However, has anyone found a work around for Gaomon tablets?  
Currently using Gaomon PD1560 graphic display tablet.

What happens is that when I try to enable the device, the program will crash as soon as I touch the display.

I just recently downloaded the program so I’m still very new to it.

Synfig may work with any tablet as long as they are HID device (like a mouse), not only Wacom.  
But we can’t say if a specific model is compatible or not.  
Anyway Synfig is not meant to draw 😉

> Here’s my recipe for getting the tablet kick started w/Synfig under win7. I have to open Synfig by double clicking on the application icon with the pen. If I use the mouse, then Synfig seems to ignore the tablet. (“No input device found”) Select File, Input Devices. Hopefully Wacom tablet pressure stylus will be listed (or something similar). Just selecting that with the pen seems to kick start the program to recognize Pressure, X tilt & Y tilt (otherwise, I only have 2 inputs listed - X & Y) C…
