Support for Graphic & Display Drawing Tablets #313

Open senntore opened 7 months ago

senntore commented 7 months ago

Currently in COSMIC DE, I can connect the tablet(using bluetooth) & move the pointer with pen but the input is not registering on the screen. So in Krita, while I can move the brushes, I can't actually paint using the tablet. I'm testing with Wacom Intuos Pro & it works in Pop OS 22.04. This is quite important for me as I use the tablet almost all the time, so I'm hoping there can be basic support for it in alpha & full support in the final release with settings & everything.

Current support is very rudimentary, however what you are describing sounds like a bug of the current implementation. I'll see what we can do for the alpha release.

However fear not what you describe as "full support" is certainly on the TODO-list for the final release.

Just wanted to let you know & anyone else that might come to this issue, I got my tablet working when connecting through cable via Open Tablet Driver(https://opentabletdriver.net/). I just had to install the driver & start the service.

I tested two tablets with OTD and so far only absolute mode and relative mode works, artist mode does not work on any of the tablets I tested (wacom PTH-451, XP-Pen Deco Pro Medium)

Hello @Drakulix, thanks for working on this issue. After the last few updates the tablet input seems to work now, even the pen pressure & tilt. Now it seems like I will be able to use cosmic without much trouble in this thing atleast. Though I did ran across some bugs. When we click on a window with the pen, the focus(& active hint) does not switch to that window. And the pen input does not work on any libcosmic related stuff like cosmic-panel, applibrary, launcher, dock & other cosmic applications.

For anyone finding this in the future, it looks like drawing tablet support is being tracked in pop-os/cosmic-settings/141
