Xsetwacom --list devices has no results, Huion Kamvas 13

PetrichorPerson · Post by **PetrichorPerson** » Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:56 pm

I have a Huion Kamvas 13 and I'm trying to configure the buttons on the tablet and stylus. To do this, I need information from xsetwacom --list devices; however, doing so gives me no outpit, despite attempting several different tutorials to try and make it do so. I'll list the details of my device as well as show you the .conf files I've made and edited in an attempt to fix this. Also, while I do have the official Linux Huion driver for my tablet, I have to keep the configuration menu for it closed because having it open means that input from my stylus is incredibly far away from where my stylus actually is with seemingly no way to fix this other than closing the menu, and any button configurations I set on there cease to work upon closing the menu. I have Xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed, and I honestly don't know which driver is managing the tablet, but either way I get input at the right spot.

Here's the output from inxi -Fxxxrz.

Tutorials have recommended that I put the following text into a file called 70-wacom.conf located at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, and I've done so.

Code: Select all

# Huion Tablet GS1331
Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "Huion Tablet GS1331"
	MatchProduct "HUION"
	MatchUSBID "256c:*"
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
	Driver "wacom"
EndSection

Another one I tried suggested I put the following into 99-huion950P.conf, also at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, and again I've done so.

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "Huion tablets with Wacom driver"
	MatchUSBID "256c:006d*"
	MatchIsTablet "true"
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
	Driver "wacom"
EndSection

I've verified several times that the information in MatchUSBID, MatchProduct, and MatchDevicePath are correct using dmesg.

My laptop is definitely detecting my tablet, considering the screen works as a second monitor and I'm getting stylus input. In addition, when I run xinput, it does show on the list.

I've seen the digimend drivers suggested for running Huion tablets on Linux, but considering that I am getting proper stylus input (including pen pressure) with my current set-up, there is no digimend one for my specific tablet, and the last time I attempted to do anything with it it drove me to confused tears, I'm hesitant to try them again unless I'm instructions on how to use them in my specific situation.

I've also attempted to bypass xsetwacom --list devices through using xinput and xbindkeys, but I've found that the buttons on my tablet aren't detected separately from each other and they don't seem to have scancodes that I can find. I'm willing to talk about my attempts with those if you think that's the better route, but I imagine I'd have to make a new topic for that as to not go off-topic of this one.

Please let me know if I'm missing any necessary or otherwise helpful information. I'm far from a tech person and I'd have no idea if there's anything important I completely missed. I've done my best to seek out tutorials, guides, and similar questions, but unfortunately I've exhausted all I can find and I'm still having issues.
