2025-01-01: c1 - connecting the H952 to this machine, I get this in /var/log/messages

if I add these quirks

and unplug / replug the H952, I get

2023-01-07: c1 - I have just got a Huion Inspiroy H952 (drawing) tablet working under FreeBSD 13.1-release. I installed xf86-input-evdev (which brought in webcamd) and xinput, enabled cuse by adding it to kld_list="..." in /etc/rc.conf. I also added webcamd_enable="YES" to rc.conf. I also added my user to the webcamd group. devd file:
root@kg-core1:~ # cat /usr/local/etc/devd/huion.conf # add Huion tablets notify 100 { match "system" "USB"; match "subsystem" "INTERFACE"; match "type" "ATTACH"; match "intclass" "0x03"; # limit to vendor match match "vendor" "0x256c"; action "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/webcamd start $cdev $interface 2>/dev/null"; };
The tablet works in GIMP and Xorg, but in Xorg the default mode is select which is not that useful. Also the two buttons on the pen is mapped to middle and right button. I suspect this can be changed with xinput or something.
