Uclogic XP-Pen Aritst 22HD all over again

[miharenthas]

Hi again,

I found a little time to fiddle with abisaro's code, presented in pull request #73
As a quick refresher: there were two report descriptor proposed, both rather lengthy and the last status was "let's make the driver a little cleaner".

It turns out that the first report descriptor (_rdesc0) doesn't do much: by using just that the monitor is recognized, but not really the pen --and thus the stylus is also non mappable to a particular output (which I suppose it's usually needed, since I doubt these devices are used as the only monitor of a computer).

The second report descriptor, on the other hand, runs the whole thing: the monitor is recognized (as a mouse?) and, as soon as it makes contact with the screen, the pen is also listed. And it works, pressure sensitivity included.

I wouldn't classify that as a progress, though: I essentially copy and pasted half abisaro's effort in the new format and didn't actually simplify anything --and the weird double "pen pen (0)" device is still on.

But it works just as the in the old pull request, so at least I didn't ruin anything. Yet.

I'm awaiting instructions to make this good enough to be merged!

Hi Lorenzo, thank you for your efforts. Please take a look at the new version of the driver I'm working on right now, and see if you would be able to do anything with it.

Hi Nikolai,
Possibly: I'll attempt to integrate the rdesc this evening.

So: I made an attempt to make the code work with the hires_refactor branch, but I didn't succeed yet.
The device appears duplicate, both time listed as "UGEE TABLET MONITOR Mouse", and there's no pen.

I think I need to understand your newer driver more deeply before being actually able to make this work --reading the code, it seems that the pen is treated somewhat separately. Something that I don't yet know how to do.

You can see what I did here.

Also, there's a "tablet 47" that has the same device code as the xppen artist22hd. Which might be weird, but I can't really tell.

@miharenthas, @abisaro, do you still have your XP-Pen Artist 22HD tablets? Could you please try the latest digimend-kernel-drivers? It seems that your tablet should be supported without modifying the code now.

Hi Nikolai, yes I still have it, I will download and install the latest driver version and give it a try ASAP, I'll let you know the outcome. tx, Andrea

Hi Nikolai, Yes I still have it. I'll test the new driver ASAP (16-17th of September). Thanks, L.

Hi Nikolai, I downloaded, installed and gave a quick try to the latest drivers, looks like you are right, it works out of the box. after installing it I just modprobed it, unplugged and plugged back the usb cable and that's it, I just tried quickly gimp and it's recognized as pen and mouse, drawing and pressure both work. thanks a lot, Andrea On 8 Sep 2018 10:51 am, "Nikolai Kondrashov" <[email protected]> wrote: @miharenthas <https://github.com/miharenthas>, @abisaro <https://github.com/abisaro>, do you still have your XP-Pen Artist 22HD tablets?

Sounds good, thank you for the report, @abisaro!

Hi Nikolai,

Not quick, but another XP-Pen Artist 22HD working here with the latest driver. Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
