As far as other options, I found a month-old post by a dev from the digimend kernal drivers who says he has tilt working but not the express keys, so I figure it’s a matter of time before at least one driver source has full support. Tip: If you use KDE, you can create a window rule to “skip taskbar”, so when you minimize it, the window disappears (but to get it back, use the Alt+Tab task switcher). However, in its present incarnation, it runs as a script that requires root: Just unzip in its permanent location (I used /opt), change into the subdirectory it creates and make Pentablet_Driver.sh executable, then link to the script from your autostart settings (or use crontab if you don’t want to be pestered for root password).
In other words, the buttons and dial all work. It’s in beta but works for me (on opensuse) better than advertised: Supports everything but tilt sensitivity. I just purchased an XP-Pen Artist Pro 15.6, considerably cheaper than Wacom, and I chose it over Huion because the manufactrer puts out a linux driver. But this may not been a necessary step for other distros.For those doing the research I was doing last week:
I tested on two Xubuntu machines and both had the same issue. Else I constantly run into issues loading the xp-pen’s library files. ** I had to make a dedicated directory titled Linux and place it under the home directory for this to work.
The above screen should pop up and your device should work ! Open gimp to test it out. (iv) Connect your device and run Pentablet_Driver.sh (sudo). (iii) Make Pentable_driver.sh as executable cd /home/User/Linux Here’s what my Linux directory looked like : (ii) Unzip all the contents of the downloaded Linux Beta driver from xp-pen’s website into ‘/home/User/Linux/’ directory (i) Make a dedicated directory *: mkdir /home/User/Linux The solution that worked was downloading the Linux Beta driver from the xp-pen’s official website ( ) If you stumble upon this problem then there is a fairly simple solution that will resolve this issue: When you plug in your Xp-pen graphic tablet into your Linux machine (i am running xubuntu-18.04), you will notice that the XP-Pen that you are using will be detected in the ‘Mouse and Touchpad’ settings tab:īut the pen may not work! Although the device is enabled, writing on the drawing tablet using the pen does not have any effect.
