Issues & Assistance Unsupported hardware | Dual boot

Hello SoldierScorp,

  • a little bit tricky is this hardware to install for “first time users.” (special on arch based oss)

  • if this hardware running well on wayland –> sorry can`t test this –> no metal –> perhaps you must switch to x11

You have the wrong nvidia driver installed for your system.

For your gpu you need the nvidia-open-dkms driver. To install over konsole command pacman or garuda-hardware-tool and perhaps you open a new topic for this or use the forum search to read the how-to over installing nvidia-open-dkms driver.

as info: Nvidia hardened drivers break frequently - #3 by gampel

First:

For your tablet you need hurion tablet driver. You “find” this driver over “pacseek” or “octopi”

and to install (my example) with paru.

Use Garuda Rani (“garudas swiss army knife” :wink: ) or konsole command pacman to install (if not installed)

konsole: sudo pacman -S pacseek octopi paru

(as info: pacseek for info + install (terminal-gui) ; octopi (a graphical gui) for info ..pls don’t install stuff over octopi) ; paru = terminal aur helper to install packages

To install over konsole with command paru (with dependence)

sudo pacman -S python-evdev python-pyusb

then

paru -S uclogic-tools huriontablet (press key “q” if you see a message and “y” to confirm.

Then reboot and test –> result = ?

more info (sorry, many stuff for “first time” user :upside_down_face: )

Second: using x11 instead of wayland

  • Install plasma-x11-session if you are using X11. To install over garuda-rani or pacman: sudo pacman -S plasma-x11-session xf86-input-evdev

  • reboot –> login in Plasma (X11) not Plasma (Wayland)

  • you also need to add the following to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf (create this file with root rights if it’s not already present):

    Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
	MatchIsTablet "on"
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
	Driver "evdev"
EndSection

reboot –> test –> result = ?

More info about how-to inside x11 ? Yes..it exist, sorry :person_shrugging:

third: perhaps this is can be a solution

but install command is paru -S digimend-kernel-drivers-dkms-git xf86-input-wacom

(not paru -Syu)

to update your system pls use: garuda-update -a (konsole)
