Huion graphics tablet drivers?

Hello. I've tried to follow the directions in post #2 here:

answers.launchpad.net/wizardpen/+question/214426

But hid-ids.h and hid-quirks.c don't exist and I have gotten nowhere. Maybe something changed since kernel 3.0?

Is there a way I can apply them to the current Liquorix kernel? Maybe they can be added by default?

Incidentally I notice direct rendering has gone down again. Sigh.

I managed to add the module in using the instructions. There was a few things I modified, and I found that whoever wrote that driver is using 'goto' statements *eye twitch*.

Either way, it built. Let me know if it works out for you.

Thanks!

It seems to work, but the cursor is confined to a 78x58 pixel area in the upper left.

It spits out debug data in kern.log. It appears that pressure sensitivity and buttons are operational, it's just the cursor won't leave the upper left corner.

To be fair, I tried to migrate this installation from LMDE to Jessie, and it ended up with some things not working.

It does the same thing on a Mint 13 computer, so it must not be a problem on my end.

Well, I've been looking through the code trying to make sense of this.

My screen resolution is 1280x960. The drivers specify an input range of 7fff, whereas kern.log reports a range of 7ff. The first nibble is apparently getting truncated. Now it makes sense 1280x960 / 16 = 80x60, which explains why only the upper left 1/16 of the screen is functional. So the question is where does the truncation occur? It may simply be a matter of faulty bitmasking/shifting. It may be really simple to get this working. Is it possible something you changed caused this?

If I knew how to compile the driver, I would have tried some things. for instance changing

:: Code ::
input_set_abs_params(input_dev, ABS_X, 0, 0x7fff, 0, 0);
input_set_abs_params(input_dev, ABS_Y, 0, 0x7fff, 0, 0);


to

:: Code ::
input_set_abs_params(input_dev, ABS_X, 0, 0x07ff, 0, 0);
input_set_abs_params(input_dev, ABS_Y, 0, 0x07ff, 0, 0);


May be a workaround to get full screen coverage, but you still lose the resolution of that last nibble. I can't tell where that last nibble disappears, but if I could compile the driver myself I may be able to get it working.

I am eager to report that my graphics tablet works now on the Liquorix kernel!

It seem there was some Huion device support added at some point. I don't know whether it just came with the standard kernel or it was something that was done in Liquorix.
