XP-Pen tablet works in Paint but not in GIMP

[LEOCFZ1973]

            Hello,

I am using GIMP on Windows and an XP-Pen tablet.

The tablet works normally in Microsoft Paint and I can draw without any problem.

In GIMP, the pen is detected and appears under Input Devices. The cursor moves normally, but when I try to paint on the canvas nothing is drawn.

What I have already checked:

Brush tool selected
Opacity 100%
Visible layer selected
Foreground color set to red
Tablet works correctly in Paint
GIMP detects the XP-Pen stylus

When I touch the canvas, I only see a strange cursor/icon near the crosshair, but no brush stroke appears.

Could this be related to Input Devices, Windows Ink, or a tablet configuration issue?


Screenshots attached.

Thank you.

Your screenshot shows the paths tool not the brush   or pencil  tools.

If you make a screenshot of Gimp do not use your phone, take a screenshot of the whole Gimp interface like this one.

   

Try using a brush
Make sure the tool options are open
In the tool options enable dynamics (if closed) and choose a suitable dynamic.

Gimp 3 is quite good with tablets this quick (48 second) demo using my veikk tablet but I do use linux not MS Windows
