This driver is of alpha quality (or less.) It technically works, and it doesn't cause my computer to have problems. The same cannot be guaranteed of your computer.
You will need linux kernel headers to compile kernel modules. Under Arch, you can get these with:
sudo pacman -S linux-headers
No configuration is required to build the module; simply open a shell and run make.
$ make
make -C /lib/modules/[..kernel..]/build M=/home/skrylar/[..path..] modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/[..kernel..]/build'
CC [M] /home/skrylar/[..path..]/parblo-coast10.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 1 modules
LD [M] /home/skrylar/[..path..]/parblo-coast10.ko
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/[..kernel..]/build'
Then load the module:
$ sudo insmod parblo-coast10
NOTE: You must load the module every time you start your computer.
You will need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and add the following
lines:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "ParbloCoast10"
MatchUSBID "0b57:8534"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "wacom"
EndSection
This instructs Xorg to treat the tablet as a wacom device, so pressure and pen information from the driver will be sent to Krita et all.
If the hanwang
driver is installed, you will need to uninstall or
blacklist it. ArtPen tablets have the same "name" to the kernel as the
Parblo tablet and will cause the wrong driver to be loaded.
