Paint Shop Pro

What works

I'm Testing PSP version 7.04, shareware, under XFCE4 desktop env.

I don't have an original version of the program so it shows the annoyng splash screen that reminds the end of trial version (even if this is the first install)

 
Using wincfg and setting to windows Xp allows to edit/select/crop images.

I can also see layers and tool 

Copy and Paste works, but only from the file menu.

 

What does not

The main problem is pressing buttons on the toolbar

They remain selected so you may select more than one tool at once.

And so nothing works. 

The way to use them is to press again a tool once you have finisced to use it.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Maybe using a registered version of psp 7 may be useful.

The splashscreen makes it almost unusable, since it never disappears. 

Hardware tested

Ok - the problem isn't with PSP or wine, the problem is with the xorg.conf file. There's a configuration in there for Wacom drawing tablets, which is what's causing the "input device not found" error. (the "err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil)" message can be ignored.)

To fix in ubuntu:

in a terminal, type

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

(don't just click on the text editor and open from the GUI, as you'll only have read-only rights to the file.)

Once inside the file, put a '#' in front of the following:

InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"

Then do the same thing with the following entries:

--------------------->8----------------

Section "InputDevice"

# /dev/input/event
# for USB
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

# /dev/input/event
# for USB
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

# /dev/input/event
# for USB
Identifier "cursor"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
