The new Wacom CTK6120 doesn’t work properly on Linux.

I recently tested the Wacom CTK6120 (a newly released graphics tablet) on Arch Linux (KDE Plasma 6.8.1) and found that it doesn’t work properly.

  1. The second pen button configuration doesn’t work.
  2. The pen tilt isn’t being recognized. (The device does support pen tilt sensing)

I think the upstream hasn’t supported this device yet.

Hope this helps those who want to use the Wacom CTK6120 on Linux.

That’s probably what it is.
Even if it was formally supported, the listings from libwacom-list-local-devices and from
libwacom-list-devices (all supported devices) don’t contain an identifier directly related to the model number of the tablet so it’s difficult to confirm.
That is my experience when using a quite old Intuos Pen and Touch tablet CTH-490/K which works.
