How to connect UGEE M708 graphcs tablet to Dell Latitude D830 under Ubuntu 20.04 using multiple displays
Raw
ugee_connet.py
'''
when I plug in the tablet and move the pen above it the mouse coursor immediately jumps to the wrong display
and stays there regardless of what I was trying
the original driver software from ugee doesn't work either, of course...
xsetwacom list devices shows no devices
first I installed the driver as described here:
https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers
reboot doesn't hurt
lsusb output lists the device as
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 28bd:0924 M708
so I added "28bd:0924" to the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-digimend.conf
inside the Ugee section to the MatchUSBID list
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Ugee/XP-Pen tablets with Wacom driver"
MatchUSBID "28bd:0924|28bd:007[1458]|28bd:0094|28bd:0042|5543:004[57]|5543:0081|5543:0004|5543:3031"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "wacom"
EndSection
Maybe I could have edited the 70-wacom.conf instead and skip the part with the driver installation, but anyway...
after another reboot (needed or not)
xsetwacom list devices now shows
M708 Mouse touch id: 14 type: TOUCH
M708 stylus id: 15 type: STYLUS
xrandr --listactivemonitors says
0: +*DVI-D-1 1680/474x1050/296+0+0 DVI-D-1
1: +LVDS-1 1280/331x800/207+1680+250 LVDS-1
I want to use the external display "DVI-D-1" and then
sudo xsetwacom set "M708 stylus" MapToOutput "DVI-D-1"
does the trick!!!!
