How to run RTSY pen tablet on Ubuntu 20.04
I have recently purchased an RTSY pen tablet. It has a Windows driver but it doesn't have Ubuntu 20.04 drivers. Is there any way I could make it work on Ubuntu 20.04?
Model name is RTSY WP960
Solution 1:
That particular tablet is a rebranded “Digimend”, which can use the Wacom drivers. You’ll need to do a bit of tweaking, though:
- Open Terminal (if it’s not already open)
- Install the Wacom drivers:
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-wacom
- Create a config file for the tablet (so it’s not recognized as a mouse):
Note: Feel free to use any text editor. It does not need to besudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-tablet.conf
vi
, but you must be able to save the file asroot
. - Paste this into the file:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Tablet" Driver "wacom" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" MatchUSBID "6161:4d15" EndSection
- Save the file
- Reboot
After the system comes back up, you’ll be able to use exactly 1/2 of the tablet … because it’ll be in “Android Mode”. To use the entire drawing surface, hold the left and right buttons (not the middle) for 6 seconds. You will see a green light turn red. Once this is done, you can use the entire drawing surface.
