Does GfxTablet give you a Touchscreen or a Tablet?

Hey all,
I’m trying to get Krita working with GfxTablet. Presently it doesn’t on my system, because the input driver gets recognized as a touchscreen instead of a tablet. I’m interested to know if this is distro level weirdness - I am preparing a patch to the driver to fix it, but I want to know if it’s going to mess with non-Debian distros.
So, can any users quickly check most /var/log/Xorg.0.log after they start networktablet, and tell me if the thing is being detected as a touchscreen or a tablet?

Cheers
Jarrad

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

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/

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.

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.
