![]() So, even if the model is unlisted on the official documentation, the basics work. The kernel 4.4.0-79-generic I'm using has the module of the Digimend project included, and the tablet is probably compatible with a part of the driver: if you type lsusb in a terminal, the tablet : is 256c:006e, and 256c in the Digimend project source-code probably triggers a default/generic Huion driver. And even when turning a screen off with xrandr, bad raw proportion for the classic 1920x1080. But no button, no way to map the tablet to a single screen of my dual screen. On a Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.1, it was a surprise when I first connected the tablet: the coordinate, pressure, all main feature worked out-of-the-box (USB cable only, not wireless). :-) Not everything work perfectly, I'll end the article with a review of pros/cons and limitations of this model under a free/libre O.S. Now it's done and I'm sharing the result to ease the path to other GNU/Linux artists around wanting a low-cost large tablet. So it's not a good sign of health for all the non Wacom, but I decided to take the risk of getting something non-functional and tweak-it as a hobby until I get it working. No official GNU/Linux driver or tweak for this model, and a almost dead Digimend project: the leader decided to leave the project for good reasons after a decade of hard work on it, but now the project is orphan and is looking for a new maintainer. I liked the design of the WH1409 (no big padding around active area), the spec (maybe the largest active zone on a tablet right now on the market, 35x22cm / 13,8x8,6inch) and the low price (160€, the third of the price of a similar model made by Wacom). For once and after 15 years of Wacom, I also studied another brand: Huion. I have a long experience with tablets, I owned so many models over the last 15 years that I even maintain for the fun a tablet history log about it. Anyway easy install! I'll put it back to the closet because I'm still not fan of the pressure curve of the stylus and I'll keep using my other Wacom tablet.Īfter the buglary of my house, I had to purchase a new tablet. It just require to install the Digimend driver (deb) version 10, reboot, and then all works if you connect it via the wireless USB dongle (the cable connection will only charge the battery of the tablet and doesn't work).Īlso, good to notice: the KDE system setting panel for tablets works fine except (calibration/setting monitor area/proportion/stylus buttons) but no tablet buttons are listed, it probably require a bit more tweaking. I took it from my closet for a sunday evening test and was surprised how simplier is it to get it work two years after this article. ![]() If you want to know what changed, read the comments of this article, I'll update the article later.Ģ020-11 Update: it works on Kubuntu 20.04. Also, this article was designed for Linux Mint 18 and Ubuntu 16.04: it will not work with the same command line for later versions. I've booted into Windows and tested things and it's buggy in Windows too.Disclaimer: I'm not sponsored by Huion for this article and I purchased this tablet myself, it's not a commercial gift. I've owned this tablet for almost a year and didn't have problems until now. I am considering selling this and trying a new tablet. When I turn them on the stylus doesn't even map to the tablet screen, it only shows on the computer screen. The Huion drivers also make things even buggier honestly. I just tried to use it without the display on and it doesn't work at all. So I don't know if it's my tablet, Krita, or both. I also tested playing Youtube on my monitor and movie it to my tablet-there was lag there too. So this is mostly due to the brush tool, and however the brush strokes are rendered. I've tested some other tools and they all work fine. ![]() My computer has 16 gb ram and a 1080 graphics card so it's not a problem with the PC hardware. If there's any tests or logs I can do to help give more info lmk. Tried allocating more RAM and that didn't help. I tried disabling Canvas Acceleration and that didn't help. My tablet drivers are up to date as well. I also tested a different program and that ran fine. I went into the tablet input test settings and it ran just fine. But when I try to move Krita on to the tablet screen there is at least a 5-10 second delay when drawing. On my laptop monitor it runs fine, either with kb+m or just using the tablet without the display. After messing around with the display and tablet settings everything is finally configured properly.īut Krita is lagging like hell. I switched to Linux with Mint and I'm loving it a lot. ![]()
