Huion Graphics Tablet Setup [resolved]

I'm trying to get a huion 420 graphics tablet working on my system and can't seem to get it to work correctly. I have installed DIGImend from the AUR and the xf86-input-evdev packages, but there seems to be no output from the tablet. What can I do to continue to troubleshoot this problem?

Re: Huion Graphics Tablet Setup [resolved]

The first step should be to check if the kernel is recognizing the device. Do you see anything show up in dmesg or 'udevadm monitor' when you plug in/out the device? Do the relevant module(s) show up in lsmod? (grep for 'hid').

Re: Huion Graphics Tablet Setup [resolved]

Upon adding a file

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

I got the graphics tablet working, but the scrolling on my trackpoint stopped working.

10-evdev.conf:

Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
       MatchIsPointer "on"
       MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
       Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
       MatchIsKeyboard "on"
       MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
       Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
       MatchIsTablet "on"
       MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
       Driver "evdev"
EndSection

edit: Upon removing everything but the tablet catchall everyting seems to be working properly. I think the battery in the pen was bad.
