Support for Gaomon PD1161

[PushkinKachroo]

I just bought Gaomon PD1161, which seems like a popular and affordable drawing tablet. However, it seems to not have support in digimend-kernel-drivers. I installed it on Ubuntu 18.04LTS, but it is having problems for this device.

Can the driver for Gaomon PD1161 be included PLEASE?

I believe this tablet only existe since spring 2018, so after Ubuntu 18.04. What is the usb ID (you can have it with lsusb. What work and don't work ?

You can help developers by reporting all the following diagnostic of your tablet: http://digimend.github.io/support/howto/trbl/diagnostics/

I am getting peculiar behaviors. When I just connected Gaomon PD1161, the screen came on and the cursor which would move with the stylus. However, there was a shifted cursor, i.e. the cursor would not be at the point of contact of the stylus with the tablet. So, it needs configuration. After, I installed digimend driver, the stylus would stop working. I tried using the deb file as well as building ot from source with the same outcomes. Now, I uninstalled the driver, and once again, I have the screen, but now the cursor is on my main laptop screen and will stay there when I use the stylus, but moves normally with my laptop mouse.

Moreover, the screen (using HDMI) shows when I connect via an adapter that uses the USB-C connector of the laptop, but not when I use the HDMI on the laptop directly. The lusb output is below:

Do you think upgrading to ubuntu 20.04 LTS could resolve this issue, as this model came in 2018?

For the screen, that's not a problem with the driver, but with the desktop

You can first configure it to be seen as wacom, see this: http://digimend.github.io/support/howto/drivers/wacom/

If you are under GNOME, you should first set your tablet as Wacom in x.org (looks like it doesn't work with last git version of the driver) On other there are probably integrated conf too.

You can see the name of the device with: xsetwacom --list devices

I use XFCE and PTXconf, but this need to be set again at each start.

So I put in a shell script, as my tablet screen is HDMI-3:

stylus=`xsetwacom --list devices | grep STYLUS | sed  's/\s*id:.*//'`
# set the screen
xsetwacom set "$stylus" MapToOutput HDMI-3

As say before, you can collect this data, it should help you and other to have better driver: http://digimend.github.io/support/howto/trbl/diagnostics/

Did you managed to get it to work?

[PushkinKachroo]

No, it is still not working and has the exact same behavior as before.

As I stated before, I have removed the digimend driver, and now I can see the screen on the pad, but the curson never goes to the pad but stays on the main laptop screen.

Can you PLEASE give me step by step instructions what I should try?

Gnome 3.28.2

Did you tried the link http://digimend.github.io/support/howto/drivers/wacom/ else could you read what I wrote first. If you follow this, gnome settings will automatically detect it as a wacom, and you will be able to set screen associated with your tablet.

No wacom tablet shows up. If I install the digimend driver, then the wacom settings show up if I use my bamboo tablet BUT NOT when I connect the GAOMON PD1161.

Using xinput list gives me:

Remember, I have uninstalled the digimend driver. I have the Gaomon PD1161 connected for the xinput and lusb commands

lusb output is the following: Bus 002 Device 010: ID 05e3:0749 Genesys Logic, Inc. Bus 002 Device 009: ID 0bc2:331a Seagate RSS LLC Bus 002 Device 008: ID 05e3:0626 Genesys Logic, Inc.

Did you ever find a fix to get this tablet model to work?

[Popolon]

If it is still not managed need at least to know what is it's USB ID. what is the line that appear when you connect the tablet and disappear when disconnecting it? Is the one with : 256c:006d ?
