This is related to this question.
I downloaded kernel 3.9.10, applied the patch with patch -p1 < ../huion.patch
, then I followed this instructions to compile the kernel, then I installed the deb packages that were generated, rebooted and I'm typing this from the new kernel, uname -a
reports my custom build. Everything good so far.
Now the problem, I connect the Huion 580 tablet and it doesn't work. My lsusb
looks like this:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 256c:006e <-- This is the tablet!!!!
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 4168:1011
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04a9:1746 Canon, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 413c:2111 Dell Computer Corp.
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 03f0:a707 Hewlett-Packard
But the tablet is not in xinput list
:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ reserved Targus Wireless Optical Mouse id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ DELL Dell USB Wired Entry Keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ DELL Dell USB Wired Entry Keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HP Webcam HD-2200 id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
What could be the problem? I can't use mainline kernel 3.11 (which supposedly includes the patch) because there are no nVidia drivers that work yet.
Before applying the patch I run make oldconfig
and left everything as default pressing enter a bunch of times. Then I applied the patch and run that command again and it asked about Huion driver with options [N,m]
, I pressed N
for NEW
I think…
Some people got it working with this patch, not me. How can I know if the patch was applied and that this device is supposed to get detected? Do I have to load the driver manually somehow?
Edit: Compiling kernel again pressing m
this time, let's see how this goes…

I finally got it working. First download kernel 3.9.10, extract and apply patch:
After that I installed the packaged debs, rebooted and everything works now,
uname -a
reports custom kernel.Finally I had to restrict the tablet to only one monitor, the right one in this case. My setup is
(1920+2560)x1440
