Another „OpenTabletDriver is not recocnizing my tablet” thread (Huion Kamvas 13 in this case)
Hi all ^ _ ^
I'm enjoying Bazzite a lot so far (switched from Fedora) but I can't get my Kamvas 13 tablet to work. Installed OTD via
ujust but the tablet not being detected (console searches but says nothing detected) even though it is there when I do lsusb.
Had a search around here and also did sudo rmmod wacom hid_uclogic as suggested on my question on Discourse (1) and elsewhere but I just get a message saying:
rmmod: ERROR: Module wacom is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module hid_uclogic is not currently loaded
Which seems to me like hid is already disabled (but wacom is as well?). Not sure what to make of that …
On Fedora I remember installing the official Huion drivers (2) by extracting the archive they provide and running ./install.sh, is there a way to do that on Bazzite somehow?
Any other ideas what I could try? Thanks in advance! 💖

Huion Kamvas not showing up in OpenTabletDriver / system setting on...
Hi! Just switched to Bazzite from Fedora when I got a new PC last week. So far it has been very, very good but I can’t get my Huion Kamvas pen tablet display to work. It shows up as Bus 001 Device 017: ID 256c:006d HUION Huion Tablet_GS1331 when I lsusb but the display just turns off again after showing the logo briefly and neither the Plasma...

Looking at that install script (and i could be wrong) there are things to edit to make it install on atomic, but i will have no idea if it will be functional, also it seems like this tablet driver forces X11 which we do not support, it is only available on the nvidia image up until most likely fedora 41 which will be soon.
i would try running it inside distrobox and hope that works, not sure about much else really.
Sadly im one of those who just have a wacom (i rarely use) and it just works so i am pretty useless here 😅
Hi, thanks for the answer! That's interesting, I'm pretty sure I've used the tablet with Wayland on Fedora, so there must have been another way (or it does run via XWaylandSessuib or whatever it's called?). I think I did a session randomly installing libwacom / digimend / input remapper and other stuff and it worked without me having to run the Huion-app after that, it just showed up in Plasma system settings (which it never did on X).
Any ideas about the OpenTabletDriver, what these messages mean?
the installer script from my understanding disables wayland and sets x11 as default
its towards the bottom
Yeah, that's way above my head but it looks like it wants X11. Welp, any ideas what to do about OpenTabletDriver not seing my tablet?
no idea sadly, as i said i got a wacom and it just works so i am useless with anything OTD specific
o yeah, you said, lucky you ^ _ ^ well i made a ubuntu box with boxbuddy and installed the .deb version of the huion-gui, exported it to bazzite, it opens up fine but doesn't see the tablet …
😦
hmm I have an huion kanvas but it worked out of the box for me on wayland, kde. (arch, not bazzite, I can give it a shot tomorrow on bazzite) You sure you need open tablet driver?
could you provide an
lsmod that i can check from arch if it also does not work for you in bazzite? see if i find anything related to it in the modules and see if we are missing anything or if there is something we could try include if it does not break other stuff 🤔sure, tomorrow Ill do some tinkering
cheers
Ok I just hooked up the tablet, it works out of the box, no huion drivers, no open tablet drivers (kamvas pro 16)
This is lsmod dump:
on kde I just had to change this
this is on arch (endevour os really)
let me know if you need any more info or whatever, I'll be around a bit
in fact, let me drop to bazzite and check there
