Hanvon Tablet Linux Driver
Supported devices: AM3M, AM0806, AM0605, AM1107, AM1209, RL0604, RL0504, GP0906, GP0806, GP0605, GP0605+, GP0504, NXS1513, APPIV0906, NXS1310*
(*) supported by hanvon8
Linux 2.6+ driver for the Hanvon USB Artmaster I, Rollick, Nilox Art Painter
Pro and Easy Sketch tablets. Initially tested with kernel version 2.6.38. Also
works with older kernels (2.6.32) with a small source code modification.

Compilation
Output of a successfull compilation should look like this:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-xen-amd64/build M=/home/ond/mysrc/hanvon modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64' CC [M] /home/ond/mysrc/hanvon/hanvon.o Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 1 modules CC /home/ond/mysrc/hanvon/hanvon.mod.o LD [M] /home/ond/mysrc/hanvon/hanvon.ko make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64'
Aspect Ratio
In order to adjust aspect ratio of the device, set the coordinate transformation matrix via xinput accordingly. You may need to compute the y-factor yourself. In order to achieve 16:9 I use following with my device (y-factor 1.3):
xinput --set-prop "Hanvon Artmaster I tablet" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1 0 0 0 1.3 0 0 0 1
Portrait Mode
In order to change orientation of the device from landscape to portrait mode, you need to adjust the coordinate transformation matrix and inverse one axis. (You may need to recalculate proper x and y coefficients to match actual screen size.)
xinput --set-prop "Hanvon Artmaster I tablet" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1
xinput --set-prop "Hanvon Artmaster I tablet" "Evdev Axis Inversion" 0 1
Wayland Support
There's no Wayland support. Thanks Nicolas B. for pointing this out. The only workaround is to disable Waylandvi /etc/gdm/custom.conf # GDM configuration storage [daemon] # Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg WaylandEnable=false
The README File
Hanvon tablet driver ==================== Driver for Linux kernels which supports complete functionality of the tablet: pen coordinates, touch/float/click detection, pressure, x and y tilt, pen button. On Artmaster I four simple tablet buttons (note that the first one works only together with pen activity), and the slider button. Supported hardware ================== AM3M, AM0605, AM0806, AM1107, AM1209 RL0604, RL0504 GP0504, GP0605, GP0605+, GP0806, GP0906 NXS1315 APPIV0906 AM - Artmaster I, RL - Rollick, GP - GraphicPal, NXS - Nilox APP - Art Painter Pro Installation ============ Type 'make' to compile the module. New file hanvon.ko will be produced in current directory. Load the module with root permissions insmod ./hanvon.ko If everything goes right the tablet should start working immediately. Diagnostics =========== After insmod, check with dmesg, if the module was loaded properly. "USB Hanvon tablet driver" should appear in the listing. lsmod should also contain hanvon in its listing: lsmod | grep hanvon
