I’m trying to set up my XP pen tablet to map to my dual monitor setup. This worked fine on ubuntu with gnome with x11 since the built in drivers never detected the tablet and couldn’t interfere with the official drivers. Over the past week however I’ve migrated to fedora spin with wayland and kde plasma.
My tablet is detected out of the box in the settings menu but I don’t exactly like the lack of features and the fact that I can’t map the tablet to more than one monitor. The XP pen drivers allow me to do this just fine so I would much prefer to use that, however when I do, the plasma settings overide them. So my dual monitor options are remapped to a single screen, and the single screen options are mapped to half of the screen. Is there a way I can disable the built in driver settings? Asking elsewhere people suggested I remove the wacom drivers, but I don’t have any installed. I think the wacom drivers are just for x11?
I just got a Huion Kamvas 13 gen 3, and I am also experiencing this.
Via Plasma’s built in support, the pen works fine, however I can’t use any of the buttons and dials on the tablet.
I saw that Huion has official Linux support, so I installed their drivers, and that then does let me use the buttons and dials, and also remap all of the pen buttons, though it now conflicts with Plasma/Wayland’s own support, and just kind of locks the mouse in place.
From what I could tell, there’s no way (at least in the GUI) to disable Plasma’s pen tablet, and searching online hasn’t yielded anything of use yet.
I would love to be able to take advantage of all the features of the tablet, especially for canvas navigation, but from what I can tell Plasma is currently preventing me from doing so.
I know the tablet settings in Plasma can be found in ~/.config/kcminputrc, so maybe something can be done there to disable the tablet? I tried experimenting with putting Enabled=false in there which was copied from another setting which does have a toggle, but I don’t think that does anything.
I’ll try to keep updated if I happen to find any more information, though this could probably be made into a feature request because the inability to disable tablet input when you can disable input from at least any mouse, trackpad, or touch screen just feels weird and inconsistent to me.
