Hi, in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1575957?comments=all you mentioned that you used your Gaomon Graphic board in ubuntu 15.10. And you got it finally working in Ubuntu 16.04 though it is not supported by Linux/Ubuntu, I understand?

Among other things you mention a "digimend-dkms package". How can I get this and how can I use it to get unsupported hardware working with Ubuntu 16.04 (or Ubuntu 17.10 or Debian 9)? Sorry, I am not an expert in kernel things :-(

I would like to also get a Gaomon GT (Gaomon M106K) working, since it seems to gives me more value for the same price than a comparable Wacom Intuos Draw S CTL-490DW-S (which is supported in Linux).

Thank you,

siggi
