Drawing table pen hover stops after writing with certain pressure
I have xp-pen star 06 graphics tablet, I am trying to configure the tablet and I am making a slow progress, Now I have faced the following problem.
When I hover the pen over the tablet the mouse moves normally but when I start writing on the tablet with certain pressure the hover effect stops and then the tablet cursor acts like mouse down, when you write on the tablet the cursor jumps to then pen position. I am using evdev driver Any help to fix this issue will be appreciated Code:
Device 'XP-PEN STAR 06': Code:
Input driver version is 1.0.1 here xinput test output while the problem acquired, the motion stops. xinput test Code:
motion a[0]=13106 a[1]=23209 |
Hi And welcome to Linux Questions! :)

I'm not sure what your problem is? I've got a second hand Wacom Bamboo A6 tablet which just worked when I plugged it in to my Linux Mint 18.2 system though it's taking me a while to adjust to the fact that it doesn't really work like a mouse. Hovering the pen over the tablet moves the cursor just like the mouse does but unlike the mouse, the positioning is Absolute; the bottom left of the tablet is the bottom left of the screen/app window, top right of the tablet is top right of the screen/app window. The mouse positioning is Relative; You move the cursor up the screen and lift the mouse from the mouse mat/desk and the cursor remains at the last position. You can now move the mouse, while lifted, back down and replace on the mat then move it again and the cursor will continue from the last position. This is how everybody who has ever used a mouse expects it to work. As I understand your "problem" is that your tablet doesn't work like the mouse? This isn't a problem, this is how a tablet/stylus input device differs from a mouse. Hope that helps. :) Play Bonny! :hattip: |

Exactly the tablet works perfectly except when I write on the tablet the hover stops then when I click on the tablet again the mouse jumps to the next absolute position but with mouse down effect, my English is bad it's kinda hard for me to explain, I guess I'll post a video soon. I am using arch linux and thanks for your help:) |

"Clicking" the stylus on the tablet is the same as what you are calling "mouse down", the screen cursor which follows the stylus (and can also be moved by the mouse for that matter)can be moved by both input devices. My set up has two screens, the mouse works across both perfectly but I could only set the tablet to work over one, so my left hand screen is effectively mapped to the tablet, the stylus won't move the cursor over to the right hand screen. I have to use the mouse to do that. Again, this is one of the differences between a tablet/stylus and mouse. Does this help in any way? I'm still not sure that what you're experiencing is a problem. :scratch: Play Bonny! :hattip: |

The regular mouse actions are not affected. here a video showing the stylus hover stops working after a certain pressure https://youtu.be/lHQsUjtKrJY |
What I saw in the video was you writing something and drawing. The circular cursor then goes up to the colour adjuster Icon next to the three paintbrushes at the top right. The cursor changes from the "My Paint" circle to a normal cursor/pointer as it's outside the drawing frame, then the video stops so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing. It all looks normal to me, my tablet does the same.

Ahhhhh.... I've just noticed that if I'm writing with the tip on the tablet then push and hold the button programmed as the right button, I can raise the stylus from the tablet to the "hover" position and the cursor still draws on the drawing frame. If I release the button it goes back to hover mode just showing where the cursor is. Is this what you get? Pressing the button when in hover mode doesn't draw anything but it can activate the various control icons. Interesting... :scratch: Play Bonny! :hattip: |

My next step would probably be to source a replacement pen if possible, otherwise... I'm stuck. Good luck and Play Bonny! :hattip: |
