XP-Pen G640 issues #279

mcpalmer1980 commented 5 years ago

I would like to report two issues I've experienced using the digimend tablet drivers for my new XP-Pen Star G640 tablet, one of which I fixed and the other ongoing. I'm using digimend-dkms_9_all.deb on Linux Mint 18.3. Note that I'm using the synaptics driver for the Elantech ETPS/2 Touchpad on my Acer Aspire E15-576G-5761 Laptop, which supposedly prevents the touchpad on my Sony Dualshock4 game controller from working. Not sure if it could also effect the tablet. In addition, I use a Logitech M570 Trackball with a wireless USB dongle as my primary mouse.

When I first connected the device without installing drivers it worked properly for about a minute. It moved the cursor to absolute coordinates when stylus entered proximity, clicked when I touched the stylus to the pad, and detected left and right clicks from the stylus buttons. After about a minute it stopped working properly for no apparent reason. It no longer detected proximity and operated using relative coordinates.

To fix the problem I installed the latest digimend tablet drivers and restarted my x-windows session. The computer froze at a black screen and I couldn't switch to a terminal, so I hard-reset the machine into recovery mode. I started x-windows from the terminal and receieved an error that the NoMatchProduct parameter is invalid within the 'InputClass' section of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-digimend.conf. Strangely x only started after commenting out the 'NoMatchProduct "MousePen"' line from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-digimend.conf.

X-Windows starts properly now and my XP-Pen Star G640 works, but just barely. It doesn't detect proximity and the buttons do not trigger events. Proximity and click events do work in Windows 10, which I use to play some games. Mostly I run Linux Mint, using Inkscape to produce the graphics for games I program in Python(mcpalmer1980.itch.io) . Following is the contents of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-digimend.conf:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Ugee/XP-Pen tablets with Wacom driver"
    MatchUSBID "28bd:0094"
    # Exclude the original WP5540U which PID is reused by Ugee M540
    # NoMatchProduct "MousePen" <- commented out to allow x session to start
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "wacom"
EndSection

Following is some output from xsetwacom :

The XP-Pen seems to be the best and most popular budget drawing tablet right now, especially for OSU players(which I'm not). Therefore any help resolving this matter will be appreciated by far more people than just myself.

FWIW, the libinput Xorg input driver seems to work very well with my G640, including setting tablet area, pen pressure, and customizable pen pressure curves with xinput. Very usable for both osu! and actual drawing.

The tablet does not seem to benefit from the extra features that the wacom driver should be providing, but correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Good I have an easypen i405 and in the graphic tablet program it does not detect it. I use Linux Mint 19.3 64bits cinnamon. I would greatly appreciate a help.
