EasyPen i405X stopped working after upgrade from ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04.1
jdimit opened this issue · comments
Hello there. I am having a problem with my easypen i405x which stopped working after an upgrade to ubuntu 22.04.1. Although the device is seen in the usb list, xinput and evtest cannot see it. The digimend-dkms and dkms drivers are already the newest versions. Can anyone help to get the pen working again?

This change broke i405X support: ec5c16d#diff-ea5625a328f4b141c37b709d8db642b2d684dcfc2997a1553bd370daaa19b369L40-R40
Reverting it makes my i405X work again.
Hi there.
I think I have the same problem. I tried to follow the steps, but still cannot get it to work.
I can see the device in lsusb
lsusb
[...] Bus 005 Device 028: ID 0458:5010 KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) EasyPen i405X [...]
I have a rule working, because I get the right permissions
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/005/028
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 539 Sep 29 13:42 /dev/bus/usb/005/028
I have installed the driver with the following steps:
git clone git@github.com:DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers.git
cd digimend-kernel-drivers
git checkout 404cb12 hid-kye.c
sed -i 's/MODULE_VERSION("10");/MODULE_VERSION("11");/' hid-kye.c
sudo apt-get install -y "linux-headers-$(uname -r)"
sudo apt-get install -y dkms
sudo make dkms_install
When I run usb-devices I don't see it in the list
usb-devices
I see a whole bunch of devices, but no my Genius Easypen
I am on ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
I also see that when I move the pen on top of the tablet, the green LED turns on. But I cannot get it to do anything.
Any idea on what else could be wrong?
Thanks!
