Hey yall, it seems like i have some issue with the tablet settings where the screen mapper doesnt seem to work. Either there is a config file that gets prioritised over the usual one found in the .config and I’m an idiot for not finding it or there is a bug.
So The following picture, I got 3 screens driven by mesa on an AMD card: a 60hz 1080p monitor, a 144hz 1080p monitor and a 1440p 60hz pendisplay. I am on fedora 42 obviously KDE on version 6.4 and use Wayland. this is all fine and dandy.
The problem is that the tablet settings remember my screen choice but i have a guess that something either crashes and falls back to the Libinput defaults or a rouge config file is playing tricks on me. Like this is only a QoL issue and doesnt inhibit my ability to draw but its still annoying. A few pointers to either submit a bugreport or where to find possible configs would be cool :3
Okay so, you have the interface that lets you map the output of the tablet/digitizer to a screen, which in my case i want to map to my Pendisplay(screentablet).
But nothing happens regarding the screen assignment and it stays on the default option that libinput uses (or so i assume) yet the UI remembers what option i had selected. Even when deleting the Config lines manually. So dunno.
What I expect to happen when the mapping works, is that the tablet output is always on the tablet screen and not the last screen I click in.
That’s strange, that’s definitely not supposed to happen when you explicitly select a monitor. I have an open bug report related to this setting, so I’ll be investigating it soon anyway
very cool ! :3 I found a similar new confirmed bughttps://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505768 and the kcminputrc config file reads the values i had set (in my case HDMI-A-1) but it seems to get ignored
Can you post the output of both kscreen-doctor -o and cat ~/.kcminputrc somewhere (either in a code block or pastebin, whichever is easiest for you.) I want to make sure the output names are being set correctly.
Also just to be sure, the tablet KCM doesn’t list multiple devices to switch between right?
Small update, i still have my small traveling graphics tablet (wacom intous s “cth-490/k”)and tried to connect that and that gets assigned to the screen i selected no problem. yet the huion doesnt
I have a similar issue. I can use the mapper properly on my main screen. But on my second screen it ignores the mapping setting. It does map it to the correct screen for Output 2 but it just maps the entire tablet to the entire screen and also ignores the fact that the screen is rotated. So to use it, I have to flip my tablet 90 degrees.

So it would correspond to it working fine on Output 1 but not on Output 2.
