Hi
i had some problem with windows in general so i decided to pass on linux mint.
It’s first time for me on linux, and until now everything is right but this
So as you can see the driver of the xp pen got the full pressure of the stylus
But when it comes to krita my stylus is like “locked” to a maximum pressure of 49.5%
Anyone can help?
OOOh okay i think i start to get it when you use linux you don’t use “official stuff” so i suppose xppen drivers are bad here because they certainly conflict i guess.
So I uninstalled the xp pen official drivers and now i would like to know what should i use or do to make linux understand that my stylus is not a mouse and have pressure and tilt and all … and also the calibration and screen match of the tablet? Because it seems that the official drivers are not able to transfer that information to the linux OS properly
@Deevad I tried to follow your guide here to set up the artist pro 16
I did creat the 60-xppen.conf adapted with my device:
Section “InputClass”
Identifier “XP-Pen 15.6 inch PenDisplay”
MatchIsTablet “on”
Driver “wacom”
MatchUSBID “28bd:092e”
MatchDevicePath “/dev/input/event*”
EndSection
But when i do xsetwacom --list after restarting nothing appear as into the screen shot i provided. Any help? or anyone else? am kind lost and tried many thing since this morning i start regretting moving to linux now 
As i don’t find any other infos source on internet about it my last hope is here
There’s seems to be an issue on Xppen drivers regarding Linux (despite they saying it’s compatible)
You could try OpenTabletDriver, works like a charm
Yes, OpenTabletDriver is the way I believe one should go when having issues with the stock-drivers.

@TheInkedKnight , according to your first screenshot your model is the Artist Pro 16TP 4K UHD Multi Touch Screen Drawing Tablet | XPPen .
My guide is not for this tablet: the TP version is not a tablet I tried and my blog post about the 16 Pro (gen2). The (gen2) series is totally another beast. They only have the 16 inch built in display in common.
So, it’s normal if it doesn’t work: this tablet is not supported at a kernel level. An effort for this model is going on at the udev-hid-bpf, a way to hot patch the Linux kernel. I suggest you to join the thread and get an account on gitlab.freedesktop.org to interact with Peter and Robin and tell them you also have this hardware and are on Linux. I haven’t read fully there discussion, but it sounds like a particularly problematic device.
thanks for your answers guy.
So I made a ton of reading and talk even with AI for that and apparently linux mint was bad for it i really struggled installing opentabletdriver. Wacom input does not work with the artist pro 16 tp and digimend do not support it either. So i had to move for an other linux;
Now i’am on manjaro gnome where i succeeded to install opentabletdriver and make it recognize the tablet. But the tablet still have a black screen. And am a bit lost
OMG! I think i succeed!
okay so if you are in same situation
here what you need for it: XP pen tablet artist pro 16 tp ofc and manjaro gnome i did it with last version which is 25.0.3 ( here official link: Manjaro Linux - Browse Files at SourceForge.net )
when it is installed connect it to internet
then go to terminal and tape pamac-manager and look up right corner 3 dots go preferences/third party /AUR
enter your password then enable AUR support and check for update
then
install dependency into terminal:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f
sudo pacman -Syu base-devel git xorg-xinput
install via pamac OpenTabletDriver (AUR) with this code into terminal:
pamac build opentabletdriver
then active opentabletdriver so it is automatic:
systemctl --user enable --now opentabletdriver
Then go into your apps you should see opentabletdriver in system app jsut open it. it will recognize the tablet but the screen will be black.
You must go to system tool again hardware manager and install the gpu drivers.
then restart computer
go to teminal tape cat /sys/class/drm/*/status and plug your tablet. one of the disconnect should be connect. That is your hdmi recognizing your tablet.
the screen must appear.
Now i need to setup the stylus and calibrate it.
That was hard but i did it ! 
So in opentabletdriver you just need correct the area by associating the right display to the tablet. In artist mode then the pressure is perfectly supported and calibration (x=173 y=96.5 for matching between cursor and nib)
Hi guys, I’m also on Linux Mint and my Drawing Tablet (Huion H640P) is detected out of the box, but I figured the OpenTabletDriver might work better for the sensitive pressure and hardware buttons. I installed the Driver and enabled it through the Terminal but it doesn’t work at all.
The software detects the Tablet, but the pen, when I hover over the tablet, it does nothing.
I disabled the service and purged the software since it wasn’t properly working, but maybe I’m missing something?
Thanks all! 
It’s sooo complicate I spent my week end trying to figure out how linux work I had no idea but am still struggling with all those infos but to sum up:
You need to install opentabletdriver by AUR. With yay. And not the .git the normal one
Something like sudo yay -S opentabletdriver So once installed you need to make sure that opentabletdriver.daemon is present and active before to open the opentabletdriver gui.
Best solution I found is to use auto start to boot opentabletdriver.daemon. Now you open the gui and you save your screen display config’. It should work And now you cross finger nothing change with time
But I love it 
Oh actually I just find a very easy way😁
Install opentabletdriver via pac man after activating third party AUR into preferences.
Then find the app in your systems apps
Right clic on the icon and go details about the app
Then into the files find the path address of opentabletdriver.daemon
Go there and open it. Then open the GUI.
Configure save and apply
Tadam. 
Thank you for the fast reply!
I’ve been working with Linux for about 10 years, and I always feel like there’s something new to explore. 
Sadly, I can’t use AUR because I’m not on an Arch Based Distribution.
Since the Tablet works out of the box tho, I probably won’t be switching from Mint to Arch-Based.
I’m fine with how the Tablet works without the software
I just thought the software would be a better idea 
It’s a shame it’s somewhat buggy.
I’ll probably do some more tests in the coming days, then reply here
Out of curiosity: ya did all through the terminal or downloaded it via their website and then started via terminal?
Y’know, sometimes those different
i found this also
and to auto start on boot
If there is still any error go to your main opentabletdriver folder and delete the setting.json file then restart the computer.
It should fix most of problems.
