Found this, it fixed my issue which sounded similar to yours.

Huion are violating* a USB standard by skimping on naming their stuff, so look for the generic numbers for their tablets. This is the code for HUION New 1060 for example: HID 256c:006e Pad
xinput # get the IDs for all relevant pieces of my tablet.
blah blah: HID 256c:006e Pad id=17
there might/should be two devices, Pad and Pen.
xrandr # get the names of my displays
look for the ones showing 'connected' like HDMI-A-0 connected
and maybe DisplayPort-2 connected
Then you tell xrandr to stick the id's to the screen you want Krita or Photoshop on, such as if you were using a HDMI port to main screen:
xinput map-to-output 13 HDMI-A-0
xinput map-to-output 14 HDMI-A-0
that was mine.
it resets after a reboot. thanks to that user timotimo!
