    I'm having the same trouble with a Wacom tablet on Mac. My Input Devices dialog is empty. Do you have anything showing up on your Input Devices dialog?

    I came here with the same question. I'm trying to get the software to respond to the pressure sensitivity of the stylus on my Surface Pro 3 while using the calligraphy tool. Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hello, i have a similar problem and seemed to have a work around:

    OS: Windows 10 pro 64bit. Tablet: Wacom Intuos 4 pro & Cintiq 16.

    Problem: Inkscape 1.0 doesn't recognize the tablets and pen pressure doesn't work.

    How to "Fix":

    1. With both Wacom Intuos 4 & Cintiq 16 connected, install inkscape-0.92.5-x64.exe.
    This version seems able to recognize Intuos 4 but not Cintiq 16. However, install it with both devices connected to computer, able to makeΒ it recognize Cintiq 16 as well.

    2. Use pen to open Iknscape
    3. Go to Edit -> Input Devices
    4. On Input Device, check each of 4 Wacom pen & eraser and select 'SCREEN' -> Save.

    Exit Inkscape.

    5. Open C:\Users\[userName]\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\preferences.xml
    It should have 4 entries of Wacom, without particular names. It's OK.

    Make a copy of this file as backup incase it's overwritten for any reason.

    6. Unistall Inkscape, if asked to Keep Preferences, check it.
    7. Restart computer.
    8. Install inkscape-1.0-x64.exe.
    9. Open Inkscape by tablet pen.
    10. Now, the pen presure option on Pencil & Brush should work.

    Hope this helpful!
