I*'ve been trying everything I've found so far on the internet on this and this is the latest try and still nothing.
using
/digimend-kernel-drivers-11/

added the rules file

Code:

then your `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-tablet.conf` should look like this:

    Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Tablet"
        Driver "wacom"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        MatchUSBID "1234:abcd"
    EndSection

modified the example to my tablet

Code:

For example, if `xsetwacom list` produces this output:

    HID 256c:006e Pad pad                   id: 9   type: PAD
    HID 256c:006e Pen stylus                id: 10  type: STYLUS

you can assign Ctrl-Z ("Undo") key combination to the fifth button on the
tablet frame this way:

    xsetwacom set "HID 256c:006e Pad pad" button 9 key Ctrl Z

still nothing

Code:

$ lsusb

$ sudo xsetwacom --set "HID 256c:006d Pad pad" button 9 key ctrl Z
Cannot find device 'HID 256c:006d Pad pad'.

This is sitting on zero threads for a long time, which tells you something.

To my mind, this is all about drivers. I would forget slackware much as you may love it, and see what Lineage has to offer. What you're going to find is one difficulty after another, mostly over drivers. There's also a lot of java about in Android. How's your java? Frankly this may be more of a job for a dev team than a single owner.

I've found 3rd party drivers for it but it too requires rebuilding the kernel to load the mods as far as i can tell, and I don't have a good understanding on this, dacut something like to build the kernel over, and an option to use dkms which I looked up and most everyone put down dkms for slackware .. I mostly need it to map the tablet as it works out of box just not able to set the function keys.

Ubuntu - why is everyone making that a (windows defacto knock off) standard. this table has source code I installed but still it isn't working like that which those people should now how to develop for linux better if they are going to put out the source code and not just a deb .

still I don't know what the hold back is preventing that source code from working on a different distro, what does Ubuntu have that slack doesn't to get it to work? ( that maybe an arbitrary question, just me thinking out loud)

thanks, I already did all of that and more and even though lsusb sees it using xsetwacom says it does not see the device.
