@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social How about support for fingerprint sensors? I don't have drivers for mine and don't really know how to make them myself 😅

Are you only interested in tablet PCs? I have a drawing tablet I connect to my PC, does that count?

[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, absolutely. Go for it, please.

[–] ppxl@social.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

@Bro666 @Lumelore I was asking about the same. Also this happily falls on place as I was to plug my gfx tablet to a Linux computer anyway

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would probably phrase this as "using/running Linux on the tablet, not the other way around. Just a minute detail. 😅

[–] magikmw@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it's about drawing tablets, not post-ipad tablets.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Ah, the title has changed now, yes, then the phrasing makes a lot more sense! Thanks friend.

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social I added the XpPen Deco01V3 here https://github.com/linuxwacom/wacom-hid-descriptors/issues/468

[–] franzcoz@feddit.cl 4 points 1 week ago

I was gonna ask for this, how I can help because I own an xp-pen and want to help

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I do, I have this little Lenovo piece of manufactured ewaste that was capable of running Windows 10...in a perfectly flat frictionless vacuum. It briefly ran Fedora KDE, then I tried Fedora Gnome, which seemed more tablet friendly because the UI is big dumb iPad style, doesn't make me hate Gnome any less. I may attempt KDE again.

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Tagging @VermStudio and @Venerabela cuz y'all are experimenting with Linux (KDE is the overarching project maintaining Krita, but this will apply more universally to other art applications that can run under Linux)

And you may've already seen it but @Adorable_Sergal this might be worthwhile to you as well!

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Thanks for hint.
Done with my new #TUXEDO #InfinityFlex 14 Gen1

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social @redstrate@mastodon.art just make opentabletdriver built-in to the kde

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Is this exclusive to Wacom tablets or is this an indiscriminate and extensive collection of device IDs

[–] bonn2@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I'll check to see if my specific thinkpad is on the list when I get off work.

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Gondor calls for aid! And Rohan will answer! ✅

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Does a 1st gen Microsoft Surface Pro count?

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I use a graphics tablet, but it's VEIKK brand and requires a proprietary binary driver to work on Linux
https://veikk.com/route/v2/support/download

There was an open source project at one point, but development ceased after VEIKK released their own driver

EDIT: Didn't paste complete veikk link on first post.
