Driver installation

Get digimend-dkms_8_all.deb from https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers/releases

$ sudo apt-get install dkms
$ sudo dpkg -i digimend-dkms_8_all.deb

Hum, well, installation on my Debian Sid was a breeze but when I wanted to install the same tablet on another laptop with a Debian Stable, things weren't that easy.

$ sudo dpkg -i digimend-dkms_8_all.deb
...
hid-uclogic.ko:
Running module version sanity check.
Error! Module version 8 for hid-uclogic.ko
is not newer than what is already found in kernel 4.9.0-8-amd64 (8).
You may override by specifying --force.
...

And only the pen was recognized, not the pad.

$ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ HUION Huion Tablet Pen stylus           	id=13	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ...
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ ...

And dmesg show some errors from uclogic driver:

$ sudo dmesg
[  165.187552] uclogic 0003:256C:006E.0003: failed to enable abstract keyboard

Even when forcing the override of hid-uclogic, it failed. Retrospectively maybe I just needed to reboot after forcing hid-logic at this point but finally I decided to install a more recent kernel, so here are the steps that worked for me.

Add stretch-backports in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib non-free

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -t stretch-backports linux-image-4.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 linux-headers-4.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 linux-kbuild-4.18
$ sudo dkms remove digimend/8 --all
$ sudo dkms build digimend -v 8
$ sudo dkms install digimend -v 8 --force
$ sudo reboot
...
$ /sbin/modinfo hid-uclogic |grep ^version
version:        8

Wacom tools

Use wacom drivers for more finetuning:

# apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom
# mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
# cat > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-tablet.conf << EOF

    Identifier "Huion class"
    MatchUSBID "256c:006e"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
