Krita on Kubuntu : problem with my tablet

Hello

First at all, I'm pretty a beginner on KDE so I hope to not ask a stupid question :-\
I am on Kubuntu, V10.10
Unfortunately I have difficulties with my graphic tablet, a wacom intuos 4.

I've installed the wserver-xorg-input-wacom. And I was really happy to discover that the interface to configure the tablet was much more user-friendly that on Ubuntu (for a beginner like me...)
My stylus works fine with the software Mypaint but is not recognized on Krita :'(

I read that there was a tablet configuration panel in the software, but this menu is not present in the software (v.2.2.2). Anybody could explain me, if that's normal ?
Should I do something to activate the menu ?

Otherwise, I would ask a other question: has anybody ever planned to make a package in .exe to install krita really easily on Windows ?
It could be a wonderful idea to increase the popularity of the softawe, like for The Gimp.

Thanks in advance for your help

There are currently no problems with that version reported. In 10.04 had broken tablet support, but it should be fixed by now. It would be better to report the problem to Kubuntu.

Krita doesn't have a special configuration for the tablet. It should work out of the box.

A standalone .exe installer is currently not planned as we currently lack windows developers.

Thank you for your answer.
I confirm to you that the support of tablet has a problem in Kubuntu 10.10.

Does it mean that you don't have the problem under Open suse ?

Fedora seems to have the best tablet support around. The developer of the wacom driver packages the driver for Fedora.He fixed the bug I reported very quickly in Fedora. No kidding.

This is odd...

I tried my Intuos3 on my desktop (Kubuntu 10.10 upgraded from 10.04) with Krita compiled from source and it works perfectly. I tried installing Krita (2.2.2) from the repos on my laptop (10.10 clean install) and it doesn't register any pen strokes. It *does* register right click, but not left or middle. The tablet shows up under xinput --list, and QT 4.7.0 is installed by default.

*sigh*

Guess the next step is to try compiling on my laptop and see if that works, and maybe try a live USB on my desktop. Just running kinda short on time atm. :/

I too have Ubuntu 10.10, on a desktop with nvidia gfx + intuos3, and on a laptop with amd gfx + a graphire4. On both I have compiled svn trunk and it works all right, no tablet issue!

I didn't try 2.2.2 from the repos'.
