Ubuntu – Area drawing – Huion Tablet

graphics-tabletwacom

I've tried everything here on ask ubuntu and found good solutions for tablets drawing of HUION brand. However I have a problem that I believe has not been resolved:

I have the H420 HUION tablet and put it in ubuntu 12:04 LTS it works normal but the area is drawing on the screen is equivalent to a portion of it, say. (starting from the left top edge), and the same occurs with useful drawing area on the tablet itself.

In my case, my monitor is 1368×768 and it seems that the drawing area is only 346 pixels wide by 192 pixels high (values only for you to understand better what happens)

I installed the drivers WizardPen, calibrated and managed to resolve the drawing area on the monitor, but the tablet functional area remains small (the area of the drawing tablet is too small, the pen works up to a point and discards the rest of the area)

I would like to help.

There is a Huion Driver (kind of a beta version, but I gather it is slated to be included in the kernel, if it has not already), in the Digimend project, at

https://github.com/DIGImend/huion-driver

Works like a charm, with my H610.

I've just bought this tablet and successfully install its driver inside Ubuntu 14.10.

First you need to remove any existing driver:

sudo rmmod hid-huion

After that, download release 5 or later from the DIGImend project. Untar, change to the download directory, make, and install the driver:

tar xf digimend-kernel-drivers-5.tar.gz
cd digimend-kernel-drivers-5
make
sudo make install

Your H610 should work now. You will have to run above steps everytime you update the kernel.

Found this, it fixed my issue which sounded similar to yours.

Huion are violating* a USB standard by skimping on naming their stuff, so look for the generic numbers for their tablets. This is the code for HUION New 1060 for example: HID 256c:006e Pad

xinput  # get the IDs for all relevant pieces of my tablet.

blah blah: HID 256c:006e Pad id=17
there might/should be two devices, Pad and Pen.

xrandr  # get the names of my displays

look for the ones showing 'connected' like HDMI-A-0 connected
and maybe DisplayPort-2 connected

Then you tell xrandr to stick the id's to the screen you want Krita or Photoshop on, such as if you were using a HDMI port to main screen:

xinput map-to-output 13 HDMI-A-0
xinput map-to-output 14 HDMI-A-0

that was mine.
it resets after a reboot. thanks to that user timotimo!
