Wonder if it works with your krita...

@brycehenley, perhaps you want to give this driver a try.
The other driver (and the drivers it was derived from) did a lot of strange stuff and maintained way too much state for no reason. This one is much cleaner, and worked with the Gimp and Krita (not sure about the version I have...)

It installs and uninstalls cleanly, so there is little to risk.
Thanks!

Your driver seems to have more accurate position tracking, but the tablet still has no pressure in Krita 3.0.1 or in Substance Painter 2. Both of these apps seem to register it as just a normal mouse. Pressure works great in Gimp. I switched to Opensuse for testing and still have to test older versions of Krita.

[brycehenley]

Alright Krita version 2.9.11 has pressure. So it is only version 3+ that is missing pressure.

[stacksmith]

Ah, that is meaningful. I will try to get a handle on it when I get a chance. The way linux handles pressure input is a terrible mess; the more I learn the more I wish I never looked at it!

[stacksmith]

Did my driver crash the same way in when the mouse is unplugged?

[brycehenley]

No it did not, it just continued to log as mouse movements in Krita.

I should mention that I don't have pressure in krita or gimp, but I am guessing it is some kind of setting issue in the programs or something else missing (?), I've been too lazy to look into playing around with the settings in the programs to test this. Just thought I'd mention this since I see pressure issues being discussed here.

[brycehenley]

In gimp you go to Edit/input devices, then select the tablet and change one of the settings to "screen". Krita should have pressure out of the box if everything is working right.

Aha, that setting in gimp did the trick. I'm actually using the monoprice 22 with the program milton

Just needed to confirm pressure was working with the driver via a well established program such as gimp/krita.

Thanks for the help @brycehenley

@miotatsu - milton looks good - thanks!

I've just reinstalled Ubuntu MATE 16.04.2 and whilst Gimp works fine, both Krita and MyPaint dont. Both detect the Monoprice tablet and register movement of the cursor and allow tool selection etc, using the pen results in no drawn lines, paint strokes etc. Using the mouse works perfectly, but I didn't buy the Parblo Coast 22 to use a mouse for drawing on it! I'm using Krita 2.9.7 and MyPaint 1.2.0

I've had both applications working with the Parblo in the past, so something must have recently changed.

My MP22's usb died in the first week I had it, so I ended up going to a Yiynova 22 tablet that had full manufacturer supported drivers (digimend). So I wont be able to run any more tests for the Mono price tablet.
