First time on here, even though I have been using Inkscape for over a year now. When I first used Inkscape, I had two monitors. One was an HP monitor, the other was a Ugee drawing monitor. They worked great! I used GIMP, Inkscape, as well as Krita. Then the HP died, and I had to use my Ugee as my main monitor. Now I have a Sceptre 34" monitor, and upon hooking everything up, All my programs work on my Ugee, except Inkscape. I can't use mouse or my pen to make anything open.
Does anyone have any ideas? Should I make my Ugee monitor the main monitor?
I have had trouble using my Wacom Intuos 4 tablet mouse with the last three versions of Inkscape. Haven't found any solution yet. The mouse just doesn't work, but the pen does.
thanks, I did look at the video, and it referenced calibration, which isn’t the issue with my Ugee. It’s calibrated fine. It’s just when I try using Inkscape I can’t open a file, or use any tools, usin my pen or my mouse. But if I move Inkscape over to my main monitor, the mouse will work. The pen and mouse DOES work on my Ugee when I use Krita or GIMP.
Thanks for the suggestion, I am trying anything at this point.
Good deal, I had a feeling you looked there first, lots of good tutorials and info nowadays at YT.
I have to go into Services on my computer and 'stop' and 'restart' my Wacom Professional Services, driver for Wacom tablets, each time I restart my computer because my mouse becomes so sluggish, barely moves across the tablet. That restart helps every. single. time. Something to look at, maybe your monitor has a driver you can kick in the butt, er, restart!
For anyone out there who is having this same issue, I have enabled a fix that MAY apply to you. I really don't know why this made any difference before, because my UGEE pen/tablet worked fine in all the programs, including Gimp, Inkscape, and Krita. Sadly only Krita works in the monitor configuration that I was using. So here is what I was doing before, and also what I have done to correct it.
First I have two monitors, on the same graphics card, and I had extended the screen to cover both monitors. It use to work fine that way. Now it doesn't for some reason. So now I opened my UGEE pen/tablet control panel, and made both monitors as one. The up side to all of this, is that EVERY program I was using before now works. The downside is that I no longer can look at my pen/tablet and draw directly on it as I would if it were paper. Instead I must look at the main monitor where the program window will work. I may be able to duplicate screens and use it in that configuration, but at the moment this works, and I will see if this is ok to adjust to.
Anyway, I hope this helps anyone who is having the same problems!

Hi Terry,
I have had trouble using my Wacom Intuos 4 tablet mouse with the last three versions of Inkscape. Haven't found any solution yet. The mouse just doesn't work, but the pen does.
Anyway .... I went to YouTube and looked up Ugee and found one video, don't know if it will help but ya never know! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=662_6Onnz0o
Good luck!
