Linux 6.15 Preparing Support For The XP-Pen Artist Pro 19, A Big 4K Drawing Tablet

([Hardware] 6 Hours Ago XP-Pen Artist Pro 19)


Linux already supports a number of [1]XP-Pen drawing tablets while the upcoming [2]Linux 6.15 kernel is set to include support for another one: the XP-Pen Artist Pro 19. This XP-Pen Artist Pro 19 is a big, 4K resolution display drawing tablet that retails for nearly $800 USD and features dual stylus, 16K pressure levels, and a nice display for this 19-inch drawing surface.

Support for the XP-Pen Artist Pro 19 (Gen2) has been queued up into [3]HID.git's for-next branch ahead of the Linux 6.15 merge window opening later this month. This XP-Pen Artist Pro 19 support is similar to the prior 16" and 14" XP-Pen drawing tablets already supported via the Linux kernel and is coming by way of a HID BPF program.

So for those digital artists after a large drawing tablet with 4K display, the XP-Pen Artist Pro 19 is now another option that will begin to see mainline Linux support.

`Lasu' Releases SAG 0.3 -- Freeware Book Takes Paves For New World Order
by staff writers

...
The central Superhighway site called ``sunsite.unc.edu''
collapsed in the morning before the release. News about the release had
been leaked by a German hacker group, Harmonious Hardware Hackers, who
had cracked into the author's computer earlier in the week. They had
got the release date wrong by one day, and caused dozens of eager fans
to connect to the sunsite computer at the wrong time. ``No computer can
handle that kind of stress,'' explained the mourning sunsite manager,
Erik Troan. ``The spinning disks made the whole computer jump, and
finally it crashed through the floor to the basement.'' Luckily,
repairs were swift and the computer was working again the same evening.
``Thank God we were able to buy enough needles and thread and patch it
together without major problems.'' The site has also installed a new
throttle on the network pipe, allowing at most four clients at the same
time, thus making a new crash less likely. ``The book is now in our
Incoming folder'', says Troan, ``and you're all welcome to come and get it.''
