Been fussing over this for awhile, but found my problem seems unique compared to others, so no instructions have been helpful.

I purchased an H610 graphics tablet, running it on my Ubuntu 15.10 machine, and with the right GIMP configuration it works, with pressure sensitivity. But the fact that the hotkeys aren't working is bothering me, and it only got more confusing as I tried investigating it.

lsusb; edited because I have a hub installed, so only copying relevant one since there are 20 results. The lack of name for the listing is not an accident; the device only shows up by its ID#. I verified with unplugging/plugging to make sure that was the correct one.

Which is disconcerting because I have found 10594 is a number for the exact model of H610, which means it's reading the tablet 6 times within the xinput list, and is something I have not seen in the many tablet configuration guides/asks I've read.

So far in my attempts, I've installed DIGImend, which added the "10594 Pad" input which makes the buttons respond with completely incorrect, and even obstructive functions as the undo button is the hotkey to close a window.

On another Ubuntu computer I successfully broke pressure sensitivity while trying to set up Wizardpen and messing with the xorg configuration files, and reverting the file back to default did not fix it.

That one doesn't matter anymore; computer was breaking down and since been disposed of.

Also found it is using evdev for input when I ran xinput --list-props

.. though not sure if that matters. I've just been fussing over it so much, looking at methods of configuration, reading guides and other help requests, and mostly just got myself confused, outside my range of skills, burnt out, and on the verge of just saying it's good enough that the pressure sensitivity and pen works.

This is kinda my last-ditch try here; seeing if anyone can make sense of this.


An update here. I have messed with it on and off over the months. With newer Ubuntu distros, its behavior changed slightly, but the problems persisted. But I do have a slight update that may explain it a bit better.

Maybe I'm gonna get lucky and someone will be able to identify what the heck is going on.

From what I have figured out: By default, tablet drivers read it as having all possible tablet functions, though it should only have Pen and Keyboard. So it shows up 5 times, all controlled by evdev.

Installing Digimend makes a change: Pen is detected as Wacom in the following reset, then that too goes away after another reset, at which point neither xinput nor xsetwacom can detect anything. Inspecting the syslog, while I can't understand all that's there, I can understand it's reading the tablet (10594) being present.

So.. I guess the uclogic module is properly grabbing the tablet, but somewhere in the process of getting it to the wacom profile it fails?

Is the problem something stupid, like the fact that inside the tablet itself it's labelled as "10594" and so despite being the Huion H610, it's not being read properly due to a different product ID? I did try changing some of the recommended Huion configuration files to it, fruitlessly, a few times during my messing with it.

Either way, while I understand it all a bit better, the darn thing still doesn't work, and has been nothing but compulsively driving me to get the buttons work, and supplying me with endless frustration.

I finally got it working. Kinda disappointed that after four months, I finally answer it myself.

I was right; it was the different name causing the problem. All the instructions I've been trying for over a year should have worked... but no instructions on any other help/request page, or Digimend tell you to match the pen and pad names from xinput to the matchProduct item in the xorg conf file.

Didn't even find that as the answer, or know how the conf syntax worked: I just read the Digimend instructions for WALTOP, took a guess how the conf files worked, and it works fine after making two profiles in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/52-tablet.conf for "10594 Pen" and "10594 Pad".

xsetwacom --set "10594 Pad pad" to the GIMP hotkeys for Button 1 2 3 8 9 10 11 12, and it's now in completely functioning order. Finally.


A quick addendum; I also am using 14.04 LTS on another system. 16.04 still breaks all tablet detection with digimend installed, so having figured out configuration or not doesn't help there if the driver doesn't even work. Seeing if I can figure that one out since I would prefer to use the tablet on the other system.

For 16.04 you want to install from the latest source code which you can get from https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers

Do not use the .deb v6 installer, it will not detect the tablet.

Click on the green "Clone or download" button to get the latest digimend-kernel-drivers-master.zip

sudo rmmod hid-uclogic

Navigate to the unzipped digimen-kernel-drivers-master

make

uninstall the current driver if there is one with the sudo make uninstall

sudo make uninstall
sudo make install

After this I have often had to do a sudo insmod hid-uclogic.ko to import the new driver.

Another excellent resource is HUION H610 Tablet. That link will cover your question about buttons and almost anything else H610 related, it is odd that the name of your device is different, maybe the newer driver will fix this.
