[Info] Huion Kamvas 13 Gen 3 works only on wayland and installing ...

Hello there,

i have a working Huion Kamvas 13 Gen 3 under KDE Wayland with Drivers from them.

if you do not want to use the proprietary drivers then you have problems to get it work under wayland and have to use Xorg instead.

i made this rule.d file:

# udev rules for HuionTablet supported devices
# This file is generated by HuionTablet driver, do not edit # Note from Chris2000SP i edited that file!

KERNEL=="uhid",MODE:="0660",OPTIONS+="static_node=uhid"
KERNEL=="uinput",MODE:="0660",OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="256c",MODE:="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*",ATTRS{name}=="HUION 256C PEN STYLUS",MODE:="0660"

# KERNEL=="uhid",MODE:="0660",OPTIONS+="static_node=uhid"
# KERNEL=="uinput",MODE:="0660",OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"
# SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="256c",ATTRS{idProduct}=="006[0123456789abcdef]|200[012]",MODE:="0660"
# SUBSYSTEM=="input",KERNEL=="event*",ATTRS{name}=="HUION 256C PEN STYLUS",MODE:="0660"
# KERNEL=="hiddev*",ATTRS{idVendor}=="256c",ATTRS{idProduct}=="006[0123456789abcdef]|200[012]",MODE:="0660"
# KERNEL=="hidraw*",ATTRS{idVendor}=="256c",ATTRS{idProduct}=="006[0123456789abcdef]|200[012]",MODE:="0660"

with this it works great with or without drivers i would say. but i discovered the other ids and i did not test that what is commented out. since it was a month ago i don't know any more what i wrote there. i wanted to test before i write about it.

the wheels do only work with the proprietary drivers. using wayland is necessary in that case, but there we have only the "maliit" virtual keyboard which is a mobile layout only and plasma has non other at the moment of 26. Apr 2025. so you have to config your buttons in driver software.

if i have mistaken something please comment.

cheers.

Re: [Info] Huion Kamvas 13 Gen 3 works only on wayland and installing ...

I make an Update on my rules:

This is file "20-huion.rules"

KERNEL=="uhid",MODE:="0660",OPTIONS+="static_node=uhid"
KERNEL=="uinput",MODE:="0660",OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="256c",MODE:="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*",ATTRS{name}=="HUION 256C PEN STYLUS",MODE:="0660"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="256c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2008", MODE:="0660"
KERNEL=="hiddev*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="256c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2008", MODE:="0660"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="256c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2008", MODE:="0660"

With this working everything except for some issues with the dails modes.

In Krita the only thing is not working is the Dial Modes that are not the mouse wheel emulation. Meaning Mousewheel working on the dials only. And i found that Krita only excepts it if the Pen is not present if you use the dials. Meaning you have to raise the Pen until no movement of the cursor is happening then you can move the dials.

For Reference: I have Mode "Leinwand vergrößern/verkleinern" (Canvas) and "Pinselgröße anpassen" (Brush size) they do not work for some reason. I only tested it with Krita, so i don't know if it works on other Apps.

Sorry that i haven't look in to it for so long.

Can some one test it with the propritary drivers?
