6/8/2023 0 Comments Krita linux![]() Linux has a built-in driver which is.fine, you have to work a bit on Krita built-in driver. Mine is XP-Pen artist 13.3, I also have a pen tablet (Wacom CTL490). So I own a pen display, plus Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04. My current recommendation in terms of budget tablets would be Huion, they have been making great strides in closing the gap between budget and professional tablets I can give the H950P my personal recommendation (is digimend verified too) but if you are adamant on getting a display tablet I hear the Kamvas pro 13 is supposed to be amazing and a quick search suggests that the display and pen work with digimend v8, but the buttons and touchpad are still incompatible But I too was looking into it back in the day, and here is the info I can lay on you:Īll Linux kernels have a built in graphics driver which supports pressure sensitivity meaning most graphics tablets can be used, but most shortcut buttons require working around I don’t know how this might be with display tablets.Īs far as I can tell there are no tablet providers who support Linux inherently, so your best bet is to use third party drivers such as those made by Digimend although they have a relatively limited library I found a better solution than this broken script. ![]() In windows you have the same problems with buttons beeing hard / impossible to remap.ĮDIT: In case somebody has this device and intends to get it to work in linux feel free to send me a message.ĮDIT2: The patch you need to apply to linux to get the pen/touchscreen working ĮDIT3: The script I use to remap the second function button (shamelessly stolen and adapted from somewhere): Dependencies: evtest xdotool The second button has no function mapped to it, but it is possible to map functions like right mouse click with some bash hacks intercepting input events. By default the first sidebutton acts as mouse wheel button. Concerning the side buttons there is no gui or cli to change their functions. I have not yet managed to make use of the grenade button in linux. ![]() Another problem in linux are the function buttons not working correctly. Only downside are the use of aaaa batteries aswell aswell a relatively high minimum pressure needed to get a stroke recognized. If I have heard correctly the bamboo ink is still one of the better "windows ink" pens in that regard and it is still totally usable for drawing. Compared to a wacom intuos pro the Bamboo ink needs relatively high minimum pressure to recognize a stroke. The advertised 4096 pressure levels are marketing bullshit. I use a wacom bamboo ink pen with this device which overall is a fine pen for every day use and sketching/painting. A possible solution is power cycling windows which resolved the issue for me the last time it happened.ĮDIT4: Works now without issues to my knowledge But there is a bug where the touchscreen randomly stops working after booting windows (I suspect windows doesn't correctly power down the digitizer. Once you get this done it is a great pen display for use in linux. There is currently no upstream support for the built in "ELAN" pen/touchscreen in linux and you have to manually apply patches and recompile the kernel to get it to work.ĮDIT4: Works out of the box with a recent kernel I realize this is not the same type of product but I hope my experience with this device can be of help to you. I have no experience with pendisplay's like the cintiq series but I recently bought an hp envy x360 laptop which has a pen digitizer built into the screen.
