I have done a lot of testing, diagnosing and reporting over the last few days, both for the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 and the XpPen Artist Pro 19 (gen2) using only free/libre and open source software. :linux:

Thanks to Benjamin Tissoires and @whot (but also José Expósito ) and the great udev-hid-bpf project, both models are now running very well. 🎉
I'll now work on the blog posts and review videos (and a comparison).

@davidrevoy Does that mean, there is no need to install the binary kernel drivers?

@davidrevoy @whot Seeing your Linux blog posts a couple years ago is what inspired me to jump into the Linux/FOSS ecosystem. I'm now exclusively running Linux for daily use and creative workflows. It's been a blast. I've found the modularity and customization in Linux makes producing art a lot more efficient and enjoyable.

@davidrevoy thanks I remembered I need to email th debian mailing list asking about running udev- hid-bpf with default kernel.

Thanks for testing the devices and helping in getting proper support

@davidrevoy @whot What is the device on the left of your laptop? A few buttons and a dial?

Edit: sorry, I didn't read the issue. Apparently the buttons normally found on a drawing tablet itself.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @whot@fosstodon.org hopefully support for huion and xp-pen devices on linux can be as well supported on linux as wacom devices

i've been sticking with an aging cintiq (its over 10 years old but still works, and i've stuck with it since i know it works on linux ~~works better than it did on windows honestly~~) but i know eventually i'm gonna have to replace it, and i've been holding off on thinking about that out of uncertainty about whether or not a huion or xp-pen would work (i know there are drivers, but i'm less certain about them working... and if i'm spending hundreds of dollars on a screen tablet...) and a new wacom is way too expensive
