Install Huion h580 tablet driver from source code

Question

I have a Huion h580 tablet, that I bought from dx.com and it doesn't work at ubuntu. I found this driver: https://github.com/DIGImend/huion-driver It should be installed from the source code, but what I did didn't work:

paulo@paulo-mccartney:~/Downloads/huion-driver-master$ make

udevadm control --reload


paulo@paulo-mccartney:~/Downloads/huion-driver-master$ rmmod hid-huion
rmmod: ERROR: Module hid_huion is not currently loaded

Also found this video which installed this tablet in Debian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ0-N0GMeXw But I don't know how to compile the kernel to support the tablet.

How could I install this driver? Thanks

Since module is not loaded at the first place, why would you unload it ? compiling a module doesnt load the module automatically — Jay Aurabind, May 03 '14 at 05:24
To install the driver you just compiled, do insmod hid-huion.ko as root in the directory where you have that .ko file — Jay Aurabind, May 03 '14 at 05:29
Yes. Actually My driver was loading correctly. Just make install did it. The problem was my model of tablet which was not supported by the driver but I contacted the developer and he fixed. — Paulo Henrique, Aug 20 '14 at 18:34

DIGImend released a new driver at https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers . You can also use modprobe hid-huion to force it to load, that may help you. Your commenter is correct about examining dmesg output for more information.
