Huion 420 configuration

[farkasma]

I’m fairly new to Linux as a whole, and I’ve been having some issues with my Huion 420 tablet. The tablet actually works out-of-the-box, but I’d like to have stuff like area and left handed mode (don’t even know if that’s possible). Digimend and OpenTabletDriver does not support this device, as far as I know, so I don’t really know what else I could try, any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Install xf86-input-wacom and since you are on KDE Plasma you can also make use of kcm-wacomtablet AFAIK … That will offer some options in Settings > Input Devices > Graphic Tablet
http://digimend.github.io/support/howto/drivers/wacom/

Once you installed those, create/add/modify the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-huion.conf
with this lines:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Huion buttons"
    MatchProduct "HUION"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Huion scroll"
    MatchProduct "HUION"
    MatchIsPointer "off"
    MatchIsKeyboard "off"
    MatchIsTouchpad "off"
    MatchIsTablet "off"
    MatchIsTouchscreen "off"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Huion pen"
    MatchProduct "HUION"
    MatchIsTablet "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "wacom"
EndSection

Reboot the system and test out some settings.

Thank you very much, it was actually only this file missing from the picture, now it’s under tablets finally.
Thanks for the help!
