Huion HS610 drawing tablet

Chris Denton · 2019-05-30 15:18:23

Hi, I'm trying to get my Huion HS610 working with my HP laptop. It's not officially supported on Linux but the Linux driver appears to work. However libinput seems to be failing.

Here's what I've found so far.

# libinput debug-events

I think this means I need to manually set a resolution in systemd but I'm not sure how. Here's the tech specs for the device:

Working Area:       254 x 158.8mm(10 x 6.25in)
Dimension:          350 x 211.8 x 8mm

Pen Sensing Height: 10mm

Assuming I'm on the right track, further investigation has lead me to 60-evdev.hwdb which says I need to create a file named `/etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-evdev-local.hwdb` and add some entries there. However, I'm not sure of what I'm supposed to be putting for the edev match string. Nothing I've tried has worked so far.

hey there Chris. I am having similar issues with my H420 tablet but with more than just the resolution issue. If i find some drop-in solution I will put it here for you to try as well. perhaps since it is a similar make and model it would work "universally"?

dj_jaz_1225 · 2020-09-02 13:22:22

okay immediately I found a good lead on this site

Required tablet capabilities
To handle a tablet correctly, libinput requires a set of capabilities on the device. When these capabilities are missing, libinput ignores the device and prints an error to the log. This error messages reads
missing tablet capabilities: xy pen btn-stylus resolution. Ignoring this device.
or in older versions of libinput simply:
libinput bug: device does not meet tablet criteria. Ignoring this device.
When a tablet is rejected, it is usually possible to check the issue with the evemu-descibe tool.
xy indicates that the tablet is missing the ABS_X and/or ABS_Y axis. This indicates that the device is mislabelled and the udev tag ID_INPUT_TABLET is applied to a device that is not a tablet.
pen or btn-stylus indicates that the tablet does not have the BTN_TOOL_PEN or BTN_STYLUS bit set. libinput requires either or both of them to be present. This usually indicates a bug in the kernel driver or the HID descriptors of the device.
resolution indicates that the device does not have a resolution set for the x and y axes. This can be fixed with a hwdb entry, locate and read the 60-evdev.hwdb file on your machine to address this.

okay I have found my solution for the tablet. it should work for yours as well!

https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers

I had to enter the following commands:
yay -S digimend-kernel-drivers-dkms-git

yay -S xf86-input-wacom

unplug the tablet and plug it back in, and it should work
