Never mind, I was up too late. The input device needs to be on the local machine while using vnc…
Network Tablet not appearing in Wayland GIMP?
-
My understanding is that the GfxTablet driver should work on a Wayland desktop. I am able to
makethe driver and run it withsudo ./networktablet. When I move around on my phone, coordinates are logged to the networktablet terminal on my desktop.But when I launch GIMP and select Edit > Input Devices, there is no “Network Tablet” option.
The installation instructions suggest running
xinput listto test that the device is found. Of course, xinput is an X.org application. How can I check that Network Tablet is appearing as expected under Wayland? Or provide useful feedback if it is not? -
Output from
sudo libinput list-devices | grep Device…libinput error: event17 - Network Tablet: libinput bug: missing tablet capabilities: resolution.Ignoring this device.I tried starting the driver and device in a different order, in case
resolutionisn’t set until the device first connects, but the error remains.Is there any additional info I can provide to help debug this?

Following the advice found here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SolusProject/comments/86vmjf/gfxtablet_doesnt_work/
the device will show in xinput by adding an entry in (on Ubuntu) /lib/udev/hwdb.d
However it is mistakenly shown as a keyboard:

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 yourlist-devicesoutput. After the changes, my setup recognises the tablet and I see it in gimp and inkscape.
