I am unable to install the driver and it seems like this might be a problem with the driver itself, therefore I have sent an email to Xencelabs customer service, to find out. For anyone looking to use the driver in the meantime, you can try downloading the driver from here: https://www.xencelabs.com/support/file/id/46/type/1 Then follow the xencelabs install instructions: [General driver installation Navigate to the 'tar.gz' folder and install the driver using the following commands: tar zxvf xencelabs-1.3.0.12.1.tar.gz cd xencelabs-1.3.0.12-1 sudo ./install.sh reboot ] Although this did not work for me it might work for you. Or try using the windows driver through wine. This did work for me. I am currently using the windows driver and it works great on my linux system.

I'm having trouble installing the package using yay. For somehow I get the following error message.

==> Making package: xencelabs 1.3.0.12-1 (Sat 17 Feb 2024 02:25:06 AM CET)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...

 -> error making: xencelabs-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
xencelabs - exit status 4

I tried creating the directory manually but it didn't help. Does someone has any ideas what could solve this?

@vazknight: I made this package because I was going to get one of these tablets, but I ended up getting another one, so unfortunately I can't fully test this package.

Thank you for adding this to the AUR.

I have installed the package and created "~/.local/share/xencelabs/" with the contents of "/usr/lib/xencelabs/config/". However the driver dosn't load after a reboot. I can not get the Xencelabs driver to launch at all. The quick keys need the driver, but the tablet will work with libwacom without the driver.

Am I missing some install instruction?
