How to run RTSY pen tablet on Ubuntu 20.04

es flag

I have recently purchased an RTSY pen tablet. It has a Windows driver but it doesn't have Ubuntu 20.04 drivers. Is there any way I could make it work on Ubuntu 20.04?

Model name is RTSY WP960

That particular tablet is a rebranded “Digimend”, which can use the Wacom drivers. You’ll need to do a bit of tweaking, though:

  1. Open Terminal (if it’s not already open)
  2. Install the Wacom drivers:
    sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-wacom
    
  3. Create a config file for the tablet (so it’s not recognized as a mouse):
    sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-tablet.conf
    
    Note: Feel free to use any text editor. It does not need to be vi, but you must be able to save the file as root.
  4. Paste this into the file:
    Section "InputClass"
      Identifier "Tablet"
      Driver "wacom"
      MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
      MatchUSBID "6161:4d15"
    EndSection
    
  5. Save the file
  6. Reboot

After the system comes back up, you’ll be able to use exactly 1/2 of the tablet … because it’ll be in “Android Mode”. To use the entire drawing surface, hold the left and right buttons (not the middle) for 6 seconds. You will see a green light turn red. Once this is done, you can use the entire drawing surface.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
