Howdy,
After a re-install of KDE neon I found an interesting quirk. Because of a problem in my programming IDE, I changed to booting in x11 instead of wayland. When I went to use my drawing tablet today, it wasn’t working as expected. input was being shown on the main screen instead of my tablet.
So, I went to settings, but the drawing tablet item was not listed there anymore. I changed back to wayland and the problem with the tablet is solved, but now my ide windows are all jumbled in the middle of the main screen again.
Is the drawing tablet settings app wayland only?
Thanks,

Hi - on X11, drawing tablet support is implemented in separate packages that might require being manually installed.
For KDE Neon on X11, running pkcon install kde-config-tablet should install the required packages.
When running a Wayland session, you might be able to benefit from setting some Window Rules to have individual windows arranged with the specific sizes and positions that you’d want 
Thanks John,
I did install that package, but it isn’t the same as the one that came packaged in KDE. That one only sees wacom tablets I guess, because it does not see my Huion. I did install the linux drivers for my tablet, so it does work, but the one that works with Wayland is just a nicer app and it works very well.
If anyone knows how I can get that app to run in X11 I’d appreciate it. Wayland is just not ready for prime time yet.
Thanks,

Could you be specific about how? We’re very interested in addressing such issues, as the X11 session is abandoned in terms of development activity, and I expect support for it to be removed within a few years.
I understand that the x11 code base is a mess and by looking through it, it is easier to just start over than to clean it all up. I think wayland is a great start toward that end. To be specific I have found several little annoyances.
Under wayland, the Lazarus IDE windows all get thrown into the center of the screen if the IDE is compiled with QT5 widget sets. GTK works fine under wayland, but for some reason, my windows layout gets trashed using qt5 under wayland.
Also, I use desktop icons in KDE. it’s what I am used to, and I will continue to use desktop icons. Under x11 the desktop works as it always has, but under wayland, when I point at an icon it does not always highlight. Many times I have to move off and then back onto an icon. This also affects moving things around on the desktop.
I am not good enough in C,C++,Rust to help out at that level, or I would.
Thanks,

Thanks.
This is 15329 – Save and remember positions of all windows, which isn’t implemented yet. It’s on our radar screen though!
This is a bug I believe to be fixed in Plasma 6.3.
