So how easy it was to make the graphics tablet working on linux? I using Debian found it pretty straightforward! Oh, this tutorial is only for those who are using Xorg NOT WAYLAND!

I believe it’s the same for all the distributions. As I am using Debian I will follow the Debian wiki.

According to WacomTablets page of the wiki, we get to see that a package is necessary to install for wacom tablets to work on xorg.

Now you might not have a tablet from Wacom, you might have something else. I am using the VEIKK S640. But this method should work for every tablet.

In the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder paste these few lines.

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

But we are not done yet. We have to replace VID:PID the with the actual id of the tablet. Let’s use the tool lsusb

~ % lsusb
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Found...
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge...
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c077 Logitech, Inc. Mouse
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 2feb:0001 Beijing Veikk..

So at the bottom of the output I have the VID:PID which is 2feb:0001. Just replace it in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

After that restarting the xserver might make the tablet working.
