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

[Sergey 'J. B. <ji...@me...>]

Hi Vince,

thanks for your reply.

The xorg config worked, the Wacom driver is now loaded.

xsetwacom --list devices does indeed list:

HUION PenTablet stylus              id: 15  type: STYLUS    
HUION PenTablet stylus              id: 17  type: STYLUS    
HUION PenTablet eraser              id: 18  type: ERASER    
HUION PenTablet pad                 id: 19  type: PAD       

In gimp I also see those devices as well (although there I have only one
"stylus", the other one is just called "HUION PenTablet"

The huion.sh script does not work however, it prints the following 
message 7 times:

Invalid offset into Wacom Button Actions property.

I can confirm that the script is not faulty, i.e. it's trying to set things
like:
++ xsetwacom set 19 button 11 key '['
Invalid offset into Wacom Button Actions property.

So it's some problem with the wacom driver or xsetwacom tool?
Setting the keys does not seem to work :(

Also, in Gimp, I do not really know how to select the other devices (or if
it even makes sesnes to select other devices? It's always using the
"HUION PenTablet stylus".

Question is... why does xsetwacom work for you?

xsetwacom -V gives me:
0.23.0

What version do you have?

Kind regards,
Jin
