  Ah. I didn’t address the moving window part. All I can think is sent data includes a scankey code to Grab Window. I use XFCE and it has ALT + Right-Mouse-Drag to move a window. I’m not sure how that would be fixed. Additionally, while you are frustrated, try to refrain from cursing or swearing when asking for help.

  We are using third party app like MobiLock to disable hardware keys on devices. Please refer to this blog : https://blog.mobilock.in/can-better-manage-android-devices-disabling-hardware-keys/

  I had the same symptoms. Try the changes to the code I made in pull request 95. It uses a newer Linux API to register the device, and libinput seems happy with it now, so it works in gimp and inkscape.

  Hello @d3vid, you might like to try the changes I made in pull request 95, which use the newer Linux kernel ioctls for configuring uinput devices. I made the changes in response to the “missing tablet capabilities: resolution” error, just as you saw in your list-devices output. After the changes, my setup recognises the tablet and I see it in gimp and inkscape.

  After a bit of tinkering, my device appeared also as a pointer as “Network Tablet Pen (0)” . Using it xinput map-to-output “$( xinput list --id-only “Network Tablet Pen (0)” )” HDMI-0 worked like a charm

  The firewall solution would certainly work on a trusted LAN, thanks for the suggestion. As a proof of concept GfxTablet definitely succeeds in demonstrating that we have are carrying functional drawing tablets around with us every day. Thanks!

  @loentar Adding “pen” worked great for me; thanks for the tip! As there is a makefile, recreating the program also worked flawlessly. Only strange side-effect (but might not be releted to this) is when I now activate the tablet, for the mouse the foreground and background colors seems swapped. As the pen works as intended, I can live with that
