How could one know (or learn) how to use the tablet drivers? It sounds too specialized to be possible for a non-expert.

So it isn't possible to make a plugin to change the way the game reads the mouse input?

Well, for the past 7 years I have completely replaced the mouse with the pen. And yes, including RTS games(it's not so bad actually). I have tendonitis and I can't use a mouse. But it's not a penouch, just the pen(no touch interface you mentioned).

Wyz: Yes, I know about mouse mode(I don't have the icons though), I mentioned that in my first post too. But I find "Mouse mode" pretty uncomfortable. I'm trying to find a way to get the game to work in normal pen mode.

Snarky:
I tried what you said, it didn't work. Moving the pen in any part of the tablet gives the same edge jumping result(including the upper left corner). However, at the very center of the tablet for a very small area, it goes through the center of the screen.

I also tried building a game in my native screen resolution, 1024x768. It didn't make any difference.

Hi everyone,

I'm using one of wacom's pen tablets. When games made in ags are in full screen, the tablet only moves around the edges of the screen like crazy with the slightest movement.
In short, ags games do not have pen tablet support.

Now, I've searched the forum and the same issue was being discussed a few years ago but without solving the problem. People back then said it had to do with changing resolutions.

Also, this is a problem I encounter with various full-screen games besides ags. It's not a bug, it's a compatibility issue and it has to do with the way the program reads the mouse input.

The programs expect the mouse to move the cursor towards a direction, while tablets do not
"move" the cursor, they define the exact spot of the screen for the cursor to go to.
There is an option for these tablets to switch to "mouse mode" moving the cursor regularly, but that can be pretty uncomfortable.

Is there a way to fix this? Can it be fixed with a plugin? If not, is it too much trouble to fix this in a future version?

Thanks in advance.
