Re: [DIGImend-users] Huion H610 and Gimp: sometimes strange behaviour

[Vince H. <Vi...@Pl...>]

to set up the buttons you need to do several things.
first create this file....
[vince@desk2 ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-huion.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "digimend2 version"
    MatchIsTablet "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
#   use for wacom driver
    MatchProduct "PenTablet"
    Driver "wacom"
        Option "rotate" "half"
        #Option         "Button1" "key +Control_L +z -z " # undo
        #Option         "Button2" "key +Shift_L +e -e "         # eraser
        #Option         "Button3" "key +n -n "          # pencil
        #Option         "Button8" "key +Shift_L +equal -equal " # zoom in
        #Option "Button9" "key +minus -minus "          # zoom out
        #Option "Button10" "key +bracketright -bracketright "
 # + pencil
        #Option "Button11" "key +bracketleft -bracketleft "
 # - pencil
#       Option  "Button12"              # hand
#
# end GIMP settings
#

 #   use for evdev
 #   Driver "evdev"
 #      Option "InvertX" "on"
 #      Option "InvertY" "on"
EndSection
--------------------------------------------------------ends above
this line--------------------------------------------------
note the commented out settings they don't work.
I have the line
Option "rotate" "half"
because I'm left handed, if you are not left handed, leave that out.


Then re-start X. There is a setting in the system settings that will
enable the key combination of ctrl alt backspace to cause X to
restart.
I can't find the kde settings at moment where I enabled that key
combination.  There are several ways to re-start X, search google.

Then copy the attached shell script some place and mark it executable...;.
chmod u+x huion.sh

the script is kind of messy, but it works to set up the buttons on my H610.

good luck.
