I have a Wacom Cintiq 22HD connected to my Dell Precision 7510. The screen is working fine but the pen does not trigger any mouse cursor movement. From what I understand, Debian does suppport it out of the box. The screen and pen are working fine with the same setup under Windows 10, so it is not a hardware problem.

The pen is hooked up to /dev/input/mouse2 but does not trigger any input when moving around. The screen recognized the pen and the small LED related to pen movement is blinking when the pen touches the screen.

The following packages are installed: libwacom-bin, libwacom-common, libwacom-dev,libwacom2:amd64andxserver-xorg-input-wacom`.

The output of xsetwacom --list is:

Wacom Cintiq 22HD Pen stylus        id: 12  type: STYLUS    
Wacom Cintiq 22HD Pad pad           id: 13  type: PAD       
Wacom Cintiq 22HD Pen eraser        id: 23  type: ERASER

There are also entries in dmesg related to the tablet (output of dmesg | grep -i wacom):

The pen is hooked up to /dev/input/mouse2 and /dev/input/event9 according to cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -i -A8 wacom:

I have tested the input with sudo xxd /dev/input/mouse2 but there is nothing coming.

The Wacom Pen and Pad are recognized by the X session. The output of journalctl | grep -i wacom does not give any interesting output except maybe for the Invalid type 'xxx' for this device sections. But I have no idea what the output here should actually look like:

I guess I have missed something obvious somewhere but I don't see anything I could try. I would be happy about any hints where to look further.

After some more extensive research I did find two related issues in the input-wacom Github repo, issue 115 and issue 140. As a workaround of the problem it is suggested to switch off and on again the Wacom screen, and indeed this is working at least in my case. This needs to be done every time after restarting the computer. This behaviour is obviously different from Windows or macOS, but at least the screen can be used with Linux.

As a note to any person who might stumble upon this in the future: in order to make the screen working properly, you still need to map the pen correctly to the monitor, which is described here.
