Wizardpen does not support this tablet, the site of the manufacturer is only windows and mac drivers.

[Yaroslav (konan-mail)]

Sorry, I was able to understand, Wizardpen supports this tablet, but you need to add in the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/67-xorg-wizardpen.rules

# Huion H580
ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="5543", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="006e", ENV{x11_driver}="wizardpen"

After rebooting, it worked, but not fully.
Please add this tablet.

At work there is not full as follows:
1) Do not react to the degree of depression, is always the same thickness of the pen, and must change.
2) The keys are left on the tablet do not work as they should, they cause very different actions.

Please help me understand these two issues.

I tried this with kernel 13.9.9 and got this compiling error:

  CC [M] drivers/hid/huiontablet.o

[robvn (rvnues)]

An update. I tried to compile linux 13.9.9 with
" -Werror-implicit-function-declaration \" removed from the
KBUILD_CFLAGS in the Makefile in the linux main directory.

A websearch suggested that this change might help to get the module
compiled. Still this would not make things easier in the long run.

Especially as the module did not compile :(

.......
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#1)

.......

It would be great when this module will be part of the kernel.

Thanks,

[robvn (rvnues)]

Ok. This driver does not work, also after repairing the compilation error. The tablet working area does not relate to that of the screen.

Good news is that the hid-huion driver proposed for linux kernel 3.11 by Martin Rusko works fine (see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2624521/). I compiled it into kernel 3.9.9 and now I have a great tablet to work with.

[elclanrs (elclanrs)]

robvn, could you share your patched kernel debs? I'm having the same problem, I already downloaded 3.9 and patched it, then compiled it and installed it. "uname -a" reports new kernel but tablet doesn't work. I can see the identifier in "lsusb" but it's not listed in "xinput list"l; it doesn't appear in myPaint or GIMP or any other aplpication. I'm not sure what's wrong...

[elclanrs (elclanrs)]

I got it working! Silly me, I patched the kernel but didn't add the "CONFIG_HID_HUION" to the config. It works beautifully with Martin Rusko's patch.
