Check device support
Run this command to see all devices currently supported by the libwacom currently installed on your system.
$ libwacom-list-devices
devices:
- { bus: 'usb', vid: '0x04f3', pid: '0x2072', name: 'ELAN 2072' }
- { bus: 'usb', vid: '0x056a', pid: '0x0010', name: 'Wacom Graphire' }
- { bus: 'usb', vid: '0x056a', pid: '0x0011', name: 'Wacom Graphire2 4x5' }
- { bus: 'usb', vid: '0x056a', pid: '0x0012', name: 'Wacom Graphire2 5x7' }
...
The output of the file is YAML, use tools like yq to search for or print specific information.
Run this command to check whether your device is detected by libwacom.
The output of this command should include all connected devices, e.g.
$ libwacom-list-local-devices
devices:
- name: 'Wacom Intuos Pro M'
bus: 'usb'
vid: '0x056a'
pid: '0x0357'
nodes:
- /dev/input/event24
- /dev/input/event23
- /dev/input/event22
If the device is not found but works otherwise, you will need to add a tablet data file for your device. The easiest approach is to search for an existing data file that is of a similar model and copy+modify that file. The most important lines are Name and DeviceMatch. Both need to be correct and must match the device (use evtest or evemu-record to get the required information from the device).
It is sufficient to add the new .data to the installation folder (/usr/share/libwacom). If the file is correct, libwacom-list-local-devices will show the device. If so, please add the file to the git tree and submit a pull request. If the tablet is one with buttons, please also add the matching svg file.
