Can’t see the drawing tablet settings in KDE 6.3

New KDE came out today on fedora,
got excited to try out the new drawing tablet settings, but they’re not anywhere in the system settings. I tried searching for it too, but it didn’t show up.

The option’s just not there.

I can use open tablet driver, but it’s janky, and the default driver in the kernel works better so i was disappointed to not see the promised new feature.

Even without opentabletdriver installed, pressure sensitivity works in krita, so I know that the tablet’s being recognised, but i’d love to be able to set my tablet’s buttons up with the new KDE setting.

Any ideas what’s going on?

It’s a Huion Inspiroy H640P, getting a bit old now, but it works. it’s a shame that huion only makes drivers for GNOME, can’t seem to get their official drivers working in KDE.

i’ve tried both x11 and wayland

Are you sure to use 6.3 ? Your screenfetch doesn’t say (use kinfo) or says X11/Wayland.
I am asking because Plasma 6.3 is in testing in fedora 40 and 41.
Are you using testing ?

There is no driver per-DE, that would be pointless, only support by the the DE for certain features. Might depend on X11 that had old drivers vs Wayland that uses libinput as HAL.

I believe i’m just using a vanilla Fedora KDE install? it showed up as a system update today in the discovery app and so i installed it.

kinfo says this:

Operating System: Fedora Linux 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.12.11-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 16 × Intel® Core™ i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz
Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

And here’s a picture of the “about this system” option in the system settings:

I should reiterate, that i have looked for the drawing tablet settings in both X11 and in Wayland considering they are both installed, and the drawing tablet settings show up in neither.

as far as i’m aware, the setting should show up here:

I can’t add much, but I do not have a tablet at all, and it shows in System Settings for me, on a different distro:

And yes, mine still calls itself “6.2” lol

Awhh man… maybe i should just switch to Neon… Heheheh… :upside_down_face:

( fedora’s pretty good tho! )

Could it be a distro packaging issue for fedora KDE ?

That is my guess.

Just report the issue to fedora that should be fixed easily.

Okiedokie, i’ll go poke the fedora forum, thank you for your advice :slight_smile:

In the meantime, is there perhaps anything i could check or reinstall to maybe try to fix it for my self? I imagine a hotfix might take a while even if it is a bug.

Do you know anything about compiling code, or building rpm packages ?

A fix for this is easy for them to implement and will get pushed fast I imagine, just a few days if not less.

Wellp, i went over to the fedora forums and they didn’t know why the option wasn’t there either.

I reinstalled fedora with KDE from scratch and now the drawing tablet option is there. Must have just been one of those weird things.

Oh well. problem solved, i guess.

Or was missing a reboot after upgrade perhaps.
