ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 yoshikazu ishihara 2024-07-29 19:35:40 UTC

The eraser part of the pen is recognized, but it does not change to an eraser.
It remains the same function as the pen.
Wacom tablet used: WACOM FAVO Pen Tab ET-0405-U

Has the eraser functionality for this tablet worked for you in the past and only recently changed to not work? My guess is that your issue is coming from the driver that you are using because you are using an older tablet. Unfortunately I don't have your tablet so I cannot test and confirm that I also see this issue. The next step would be to see a log of the input events to understand if your issue is with the driver or with something in Krita. This link provides the steps for how to generate the output that is necessary: https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Analysing-kernel-events. Another option would be to test the functionality in another application, like GIMP to see if the eraser works there. If it does, then it probably is something in Krita, if not then it is probably the driver or the device itself and not fixable by Krita.
