A problem with graphics tablet drivers on Linux

Hi

I recently bought graphics tablet from my friend, it works perfectly in Windows. In Linux it worked, but not for long, because I wanted to play osu!lazer but it didn't detect the tablet.

I went on official osu guide and it said to do this:

# echo "blacklist hid_uclogic" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

#  sudo rmmod hid_uclogic

From then it worked normally - worked in osu and while drawing.

But when I rebooted my PC it just doesn't work at all in Linux. When it's connected I can see a tab in settings called "Tablet firmy Wacom" (something like "Wacom tablet" in english), and when I disconnected it, the tab disappeared.

This tablet has no drivers for Linux, so I guess it worked on some default drivers earlier. And I think the rmmod could have deleted it.

Can someone help me?

rmmod only removes a "loaded" module, it does not delete it. Next reboot or insertion of hid_uclogic will reset that change.

 

Blacklisting hid_uclogic prevents it from loading at boot, so you'll want to remove that line from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Linux - Fedora

I've done it, now how do I load that driver without rebooting my PC? Because I have a lot of apps opened and I don't want to close them yet

oh and I also generated new initdr image

oh nvm I used modprobe and it works, thanks
