[Xorg][Graphics Tablet] HUION 610 appears working, no pointer input

mass_drivers · 2016-10-20 03:30:05

Hello all, this is my first post to the Arch forums so I hope everything's alright.

I've got a HUION 610 graphics tablet, and I'm having a time of getting it working. I'm on the linux-libre kernel, but I'm fairly certain that package includes the digimend modules now, and xinput is displaying my tablet. All the buttons are working, although the mappings are not all correct, they are all doing something. I'm just getting nothing from the pointer and pen.

It's showing up just fine when I use lsusb (although I'm wondering if I need to name it even though xinput seems to be picking up on it fine?)

 Bus 003 Device 005: ID 2188:0ae1

I've got a udev rule that seems to be doing its job

 SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="256c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="006e", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"

Device permissions are fine (my primary user is in group users).

And there seem to be the right kernel modules installed.

I noticed a similar question on the forums (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=210390) but it didn't seem to have a solution, and I definitely have xf86-input-evdev.

I get the sense I must be missing just one thing, but I can't think of what it is and haven't found the same problem elsewhere, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

An update: I tried installing the Huion driver on my Windows partition and still no input. The tablet I got might just be defective, but I'd still like to hear if anyone has any ideas just in case it's not!

My Huion DWH69 pointer works out of the box (with evdev not libinput) except for the buttons, something which works once I install the latest (from git) digimend (with which I don't need evdev anymore). Worth a try.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97771 is the bug issue I'm tracking on libinput for the buttons, in case you're interested.

I also have a Huion that works out of the box with Digimend GIT head installed via DKMS. https://www.davidrevoy.com/article331/s … untu-16-04 The exact same instructions worked on Fedora as well, so it doesn't require Ubuntu or Mint. You might try that as the kernel drivers might not be the same.

However, my only issue is that it does not show up in xsetwacom, even after I put the xorg rules in as described, so I can't set buttons. Wondering if anyone has any insight for that.

[Ooops, I read the date as June of this year, not late last year. Oh well.]
