Huion pen stop drawing completely in all programs (gimp, krita, mypaint, etc.) it can click, move the cursor, and all buttons work accordingly but it can't draw. First experience this issue three days ago after updating my main system (archlinux), today I can confirm it has something to do with this package as it was the only one (thinking it may be at fault) I updated in my testing system (kaos). Any other live distro (kaos, manjaro, chakra) using the previous package has no problem.
Got an Xorg.log for me? and the output of xinput list-props <device name>. Did you update libwacom recently? I wonder if the new udev rule we have there for HUION devices goes wrong. Please attach an evemu-describe output for that device too, thanks.

Thank you for checking on this, I am not that literate on software thus I hope I got the correct logs and outputs in the attachments, the libwacom in my system was last installed on march, no updates since, nor I'm sure if I need that package, I was going to use the wacom drivers (thus I think it got installed) but went back to the Kernel stock. One think I notice in the xinput is that there is no "stylus" anymore, I remember seeing it there before. Let me know if something else is needed. Thanks!
did you use the xorg wacom driver before? the evdev driver doesn't generate a stylus device. the logs look ok from a glance, it'll be easier to figure out what's happening when I replay this here. Please run evemu-record against the HUION PenTablet Pen device and make one short drawing motion (just pen down and a short line is sufficient). Then attach the output here.

Yes I tried to use it hopping to remap my tablet buttons, but since didn't work (aparently works with huion h610 but not with my model 1060pro) maybe that's why I remember seen the ximput stylus device. Attached the evemu-record with the motions requested. Note, to rule out other sofware piece, today I had installed a new kaos system on a different partition, updated everything except xf86-input-evdev, my tablet is working normal there.
afaict this is a kernel bug, the BTN_TOOL_PEN event is never sent but we require this to detect the actual tool coming into proximity, at least in libinput. evdev doesn't though which is why this worked in the first place. it also rings a bell, Benjamin, didn't this get fixed recently? either way, bisected to: commit d24431a1863c49aa9edcabf535ffa64bfa87053c Author: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Date: Thu Jan 14 10:41:46 2016 +1000 Restore wheel emulation for absolute devices the last hunk is the problem here. While we always update x and y now, we dropped the updates for other valuators (e.g. pressure) completely. I get a patch out for this asap

The tablet shares the same VID/PID with the one I have here and which works correctly. Could you also attach the dmesg, and the output of "sudo hid-recorder /dev/hidraw*" [1] when you use the stylus and touch the buttons on the tablet. (please make sure to launch the command, do the tests and Ctrl-C immediately. Do not type anything with your keyboard while recording the events as they might come to us as clear text).

I hope I did those two last attachment correctly.

Thanks for the logs. So after an analysis, it looks like the tablet doesn't send the "In Range 0" event at the end of the sequence. So either your stylus is always in proximity of your sensor, either there is a firmware bug. I think I'm going to punt this to the DIGImend[1] project, which handles most of the updates of those tablets. [1] https://digimend.github.io/
question asked on digimend-devel mailing list: https://sourceforge.net/p/digimend/mailman/message/35133754/
The newer xf86-input-evdev-2.10.3-1 (on Arch Linux) has resolved this problem, I'm guessing is the version with Peter's patch. Thanks for looking into this, if there is more information need it, please let me know.
