Huion HS610 not detected correctly

[BigBoyBarney]

• Device name: Huion HS610

• Device model identifier: I don't know what this is :/

• libwacom version: 2.16.1-1

• I understand that libwacom does not affect whether the device works (see Troubleshooting)

Bug description

Hi! First of all, thank you for your work!

I have a Huion HS610 that I haven't used in over a year. In that past, I remember being able to change what the buttons on the tablet do. However, today when I plugged it in, I could not. It shows up as a generic device that's "not supported". The stylus etc. work totally fine, but I cannot change the buttons' behaviour.

Here is the output of libwacom-list-local-devices:

And the Gnome settings menu:

There is a .tablet file for it (https://github.com/linuxwacom/libwacom/blob/master/data/huion-hs610.tablet), but, and I might be reading it wrong, as I don't really know what I'm doing, it says usb|256c|0064, while the list-local-devices command lists usb:256c:006d.

Thank you in advance!

After manually changing the DeviceMatch in the tablet file, copying it to /etc/libwacom and running libwacom-update-db, the "Map buttons" option shows up in the settings, but I can't actually open it.

After restarting my system, I can change buttons, so the new DeviceMatch works! 🥳

Turning the ring doesn't work, but it never did, so I assume that's just not possible, right?

I'm not 100% sure tbh. the problem with the huions is that they use the uclogic driver which splits the various components across multiple event nodes (hence you having 3 devices listed). libinput (used in Wayland) expects all pad functionality on the same event node. Newer Huion devices are supported via udev-hid-bpf which will implement that approach but for older ones it's unlikely to be added unless someone with the device finds the time.

TLDR: adding HS610 support to udev-hid-bpf would give you the ring on the pad node and then it'll just work, given new enough GNOME (the relative dial support is iirc GNOME48 only).
