Fedora 36 : Inkscape 1.2 with Huion WH 1409 graphic tablet.

In this tutorial I will show you how to install and use the Huion WH 1409 graphics tablet with the new release of Inkscape 1.2 software.
You will need to use the DKMS feature of the kernel and the tablet-specific drivers.
Let's start with the following command to get the driver and show the files:
[root@fedora mythcat]# git clone https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers.git

digimend-debug    hid-rebind        hid-viewsonic.c
dkms.conf    hid-uclogic-core.c  Makefile
Let's create it using the command
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# make dkms_install
...

dkms add .
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/digimend/11/source -> /usr/src/digimend-11
dkms build digimend/11

Building module:
cleaning build area...
make -j1 KERNELRELEASE=5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64 KVERSION=5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64...
...
Let's check and reboot.
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# dkms status
digimend/11, 5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64, x86_64: installed (original_module exists)
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# reboot
After rebooting the diver must be activated and you will see that Linux responds to the movement of the tablet pen.
[root@fedora mythcat]# modprobe -r hid-kye hid-uclogic hid-viewsonic
Install the latest version of inkscape 1.2 using the DNF utility.
Start the inkscape software:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ inkscape
static bool Inkscape::UI::Dialog::DialogContainer::recreate_dialogs_from_state(InkscapeWindow*, const Glib::KeyFile*): Key
file does not have group “Windows”
Gdk-Message: 15:09:10.534: Error flushing display: Broken pipe
It seems that inkscape does not detect and set the tablet if you use the settings of this software, but you can use the tablet with this software even if you do not set it.

Fedora 35 : New Krita version 5.0.0 released.

Today I tested the new released version 5.0.0 for Krita software.
I download the AppImage from the official website.
After download you need to use these commands:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ chmod +x krita-5.0.0-x86_64.appimage
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ ./krita-5.0.0-x86_64.appimage
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
Old schema: "0.0.10" New schema: 0.0.15
The Krita software runs well on the old HP Compaq 6710b, but I recommend better hardware because it is a software for graphic activities.
Don't worry about the message is a database change warning message.

This is an old tutorial I wrote a few days ago. You need to install the last kernel driver development and dkms according to this website.

Fedora 26 : using Huion Giano WH1409 graphic tablet .

If you want to use your Huion Giano WH1409 graphic tablet with Fedora 26 then you need to use DKMS kernel.
Let's start. First you need to have a github account to download this kernel.
Use this commands to install the DKMS kernel from digimend.
$su 
#dnf install dkms git-core 
#git clone https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers.git /usr/src/digimend-6
#dkms build digimend/6
#dkms install digimend/6
Now connect the wireless USB dongle and reboot your computer. Take a look at dkms status:
dkms status
If you use VirtualBox then I tested with last version of VirtualBox and works without any settings.
If you want to set your tablet keys then you make custom X11 rules .
First is need to go to this folder: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/.
Now create 50-huion.conf file and use the configuration tool xsetwacom.
I don't make this settings because the tablet work's good with inkscape software.
