I mean no ill will towards the nice devs who worked on the xf86-input-wacom drivers but fffffffffffffffffffuck I hate it when tech decides to crap out on you and stop working forever. I was drawing earlier, emphasis on was, until the default graphics tablet drivers on linux mint decided to suddenly stop fucking talking to Wine, but only partially which was incredibly confusing, so the Clip Studio canvas area was off limits, no pen input was registering, but pressure was working fine in the little test area in the Graphics Tablet thing on Mint, and I could click on the buttons in CSP, but not the fucking canvas.
to cut a few hours of struggling short, the answer was to look at several reddit posts and discover OpenTabletDriver, follow their instructions to install it and then figure out how to disable the default wacom driver components from ever trying to function again, I had to learn how to run a bash script, then also make the OpenTabletDriver daemon and the driver thing itself start on boot-up, then set it to "Artist Mode", which different than Absolute Mode, works through Wine so I can use CSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIIIIPEEEE
the default driver configs have relative mode, which. I'm not sure what the hell that's doing but that's not workable. Absolute Mode in theory is good, cause it's mapping the monitor area to the tablet, except then it doesn't talk to Wine running CSP, neither in X11 or Wayland (don't bother with Wayland), but OpenTabletDriver works and I'll love it forever or until that one decides to crap out on me as well, but one can hope it will not.
