I have been using linux for almost 20 years now and it never stopped to amaze me.

recently we bought a drawing tablet (screen ones). my wife uses windows so she installed the drivers, installed the configuration program and so on. After hours and hours she called me to say “i finally got it working” and i felt the frustration in her voice.

i just tried to get it working on my machine, i’m using swaywm mind you. as i connected the hdmi it just got recognized as a second monitor. but the mapping was off, it tried to map the whole width of the working area to the tablet. so i just put this in the config:

input INPUT_NAME { map_to_output OUTPUT_NAME map_to_region OUTPUT_X OUTPUT_Y WIDTH HEIGHT }

and that’s it! no drivers no nothing. i love linux!
