Plasma 6 graphics tablet driver issues

I have a wacom graphics tablet that I want to use, but the builtin drivers of plasma 6 do not have enough customizability for me/don't do what I want them to, so I wanted to use the opentabletdriver package, which worked well for me on plasma 5, but the builtin driver is still active even when opentabletdriver is and I then have 2 cursors (the one from the plasma 6 drivers is invisible tho) at different positions and am effectively unable to use the tablet. So I was wondering how to disable the builtin driver, I looked it up but all I found was the same question on reddit, so I thought I'd try asking here.

Another problem is that I also just don't have the settings tab for the tablet on X11, only on the Wayland session, the driver is still active in X11 but with default settings, giving me effectively 1/4 of the tablet for my primary monitor.

I can't really use Wayland, as of now my nvidia card still causes a lot of flickering in games.

UPDATE: I did a fully system update today and there are some changes now, plasma's driver does not interfere with opentabletdriver driver on the X11 Session anymore.

The Wayland Session does not detect my tablet on it's own at all anymore, however when I start the opentabletdriver daemon with the tablet in artist mode, plasma detects this and hijacks it, making any settings in the opentabletdriver ineffective (-> the Settings in the kde Settings also don't seem to do anything). However by Setting the driver to absolute mode (which I believe to just move the mouse to the right position) it works like it normally does in absolute mode.

conclusion: After an update everything works on X11 and artist mode is broken on Wayland (at least for me), still an option to disable the builtin driver would be nice

edit: waylands builtin driver got layered on top of the opentabletdriver, setting it to all screens solves this issue since it does not further transform opentabletdrivers input, however I could not get my buttons to work. My guess is that opentabletdriver takes the input and converts it, but wayland tries to do so again, resulting in invalid input, but I don't know for sure.

EDIT: I THINK I STAND CORRECTED
  • Tbh I think this is correct. Not necessarily mathematically, idk maths, but realistically paying with infinite 100$ Bills is easier than with 1$ Bills. Therefore it saves time and so the .infinite 100$ Bills are worth more

    Might just be me.
