[Xorg][Graphics Tablet] Huion H610N driver working, but pointer ain't.

Hi folks,

i've bought me one of those great Huion tablets. They really are neat, I tested it on Ubuntu with the digimend drivers and on Windows already.

But Arch Linux is a no go.
I installed it properly with make and then make install. Went smooth without any problems.
Rebooted. No result.

The pointer isn'teven moving when I move pen above the tablet.
But its LED (the tablet's) is blinking up as soon as pen + tablet touch. Also, it seems to load the drivers.

I'm almost ready to go.

I think the problem is in xorg.conf. But how should I configure this? Does anybody have a similar problem or knows a solution?

I don't know what exactly to declare there.
As said, I'm using the digimend kernel drivers:
https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers
They work pretty well on Ubuntu.

Thanks & regards,
Pix

Did you find a solution to this? I'm having the same issues

No, didn't find any solution to this.

Maybe I ought to write some Xorg.conf stuff. I have no idea how to fix this, sorry.

I'm having a similar issue with a Monoprice tablet that's basically a rebranded H610. "lsusb" is picking up the tablet but not its device name:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 8087:0a2a Intel Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1bcf:2b8a Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc. 
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 256c:006e  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

When I plug the tablet in, some new stuff shows up in /dev/input/, too:

event16
event17
event18
event19
event20
mouse2
mouse3

However, the tablet doesn't seem to show up when I run "xinput". The DIGImend instructions on creating Xorg configuration files seem to suggest that having the device name is necessary (either from lsusb or xinput), so I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

I was able to make some progress with my own tablet by replacing the xf86-input-libinput package with xf86-input-evdev. I guess libinput doesn't support the H610N (or its Monoprice re-brand) yet. The pen is finally working for me. Now to figure out how to configure the buttons...
