XP-Pen sent me their new Artist Pro 16 (Gen2): they were curious if I could get it to work under Gnu/Linux without their proprietary driver.
Result: after a long evening of trial and error, tweaking Digimend/X11/xsetwacom, almost everything works now. 🎉
Of course, the deal is that if it works, I have to document it like I did with the Artist 24 Pro. So expect it soon™.
Btw, this one will stay on my desk: I had a serious crush on it while testing: super low latency & low parallax. 😍
@halla Yes, it is. And I'm super impressed with it. Easily the best tablet I ever had. But I spent so far only 3h drawing with it. 
So maybe the ugly things will come later.
It's thin like an Intuos Pro Large, same size, and with a QuadHD 16:10 (so 2560x1600px). And the colorspace is large. This thing easily display real AdobeRGB. I feel they really listened to many reviews before doing this one. So many things "done right" at a first impression.
Aaaaaand it’s a big one! I challenge anyone to read this week’s (well, these past two weeks’) report and not find something they’ve been wanting for a long time. :) Plasma 6…
I'm like super excited to get a Wayland workflow that works, and at the same time their is still a many area where I have no idea how −for example− I could make a tablet like this one functional under Wayland. No more xsetwacom/X11 for the input but only libinput; it feels I have to relearn how to make things from scratch, and I'm not even sure it is possible without compiling and coding.@odoben True. I know I'll intensify my report and beta-test to give feedback about what is missing on Wayland (tablet side, KDE Plasma) before Wayland become the main solution on Fedora 40. I'm really motivated to be able to use it; it's interesting on a technology point of view and security point of view.
@TadayoshiFirefox I didn't test their driver, I have a clear idea of what and how it should work without it.
The things not working are:
- customisation of the top button of the stylus: it's a switch to "eraser device" as for AES stylus (Lenovo) or Ms Surface. I have a workaround, but it's not super elegant.
- Some buttons of the wireless numpad device are also requiring a bit of adaptation and constrained to not be customisable to all the keys possible.
So, it's minor. 🙂
@jkbecker It's part of the tablet packaging: it's a wireless remote. It has its own USB dongle, but can connect via bluetooth too.
It's more like a numeric keypad. evtest catches it, so it's possible to customise it with a /etc/udev/hwdb.d/ rule as I described in https://www.davidrevoy.com/article989/how-to-customise-a-usb-numeric-keypad-under-gnulinux .
But it is a gadget; a good access to a full keyboard or a real numeric keypad customised might bring more possibilities of keys. I was describing the default layout an hour ago:
