DIGImend kernel drivers

=======================



This is a collection of graphics tablet drivers for the Linux kernel, produced

and maintained by the DIGImend project. We maintain this package to provide

newer drivers for older kernel versions which don't have them, and to allow

users to test new drivers before we contribute them to the mainline kernel.



This package supersedes the

[huion-driver](https://github.com/DIGImend/huion-driver) package.



Model support is as follows:



    Original                Rebranded as    Status*



       Huion 580                            likely works

             H420           osu!tablet(?)  works

             H610                           works

             H690                           works

             K58                            works

             W58                            likely works

             W58L                           works

             other                          possibly works



     Yiynova MSP19U                         works

             MSP19U+                        works

             MVP22U+                        works

             MVP10U                         works (t)

             MVP10U IPS                     works (t)

             MVP10U HD IPS                  works (t)

             DP10U                          works (t)

             DP10U+                         works (t)



    * "works"           - tested, works

      "likely works"    - not tested, likely works (75% chance)

      "possibly works"  - not tested, possibly works (50% chance)



    (t) concerns only the input part of this display tablet, output (display)

        support is not provided by this package and should be verified

        separately



    (?) the rebranded model is likely the specified original model,

        but wasn't verified to be.

        osu! is a rythmn game on PC and Mac (and also works on Linux with Wine), where you have to click circles in

        rythm to win. Because the needed skill in osu! can be very high on insane beatmaps, some players uses tablets           and the osu!tablet has been created by Huion because osu! players needed a low-cost tablet.

Installing

----------



Kernel v3.5 or newer is required. Kernel headers or the build tree for the

running kernel are required.



On Debian-derived systems (such as Ubuntu and Mint) headers can be obtained by

installing appropriate version of `linux-headers` package. On Red Hat and

derived distributions the package name is `kernel-headers`.



To build the drivers run `make` in the package's directory.



To install the drivers and the associated rebinding script run `make install`

as root in the package's directory.



Upgrading

---------



If you run a kernel which already has a driver for your tablet with the same

name as the one being installed (including the case of upgrading an

installation of this package), you will need to unload the installed kernel's

driver using the `rmmod` command and then to (re-)plug the tablet in to allow

the driver from this package to take over.



For example, if you run a v3.11 or later kernel, and/or would like to upgrade

the driver for Huion tablets, then after installing this package you will need

to execute `rmmod hid-huion`, and then disconnect and reconnect the tablet to

make it work.



Alternatively, you can simply reboot the machine.



Uninstalling

------------



To uninstall the package execute `make uninstall` in the package source

directory.
