I just bought a Huion 580 graphics tablet. It worked fine out of the box, pressure and all, but when I installed some system updates and rebooted the computer it doesn't work anymore.

In fact, it's not even detected and given a device name or id:

I'm pretty sure this is due to the system update switching my modules to 4.4.0-32, but I have no idea how to copy the hid_huion (or whatever I need) module/driver over. I've tried installing DIGImend through the .deb file they provide on github but that doesn't change anything.

Any ideas, or results from the terminal I should post?

Edit: I have read this post, but the person asking the question was using a different kernel version and I have no idea how to patch kernels.

Edit 2: Another thing that doesn't work:

$ modprobe hid_huion
modprobe: FATAL: Module hid_huion not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-32-generic

Okay, I got it working, according to this launchpad bug.

I just noticed that although the tablet does not work with the module here:

/lib/modules/4.4.0-21-generic/updates/dkms/hid-uclogic.ko

It *DID* work when I manually removed hid_uclogic (rmmod) from memory and insmodded /lib/modules/4.4.0-21-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-uclogic.ko

So the full answer is:

sudo rmmod hid_uclogic && sudo insmod /lib/modules/YOUR.KERNEL.VERSION-HERE/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-uclogic.ko

Yay!
