The gnome-desktop can be installed with the AUR package gnome-meta
.
Install it with yay -S gnome-meta
.
For proper operation you should also switch to GDM upon installation. That can be done by running:
sudo systemctl disable lightdm
sudo systemctl enable gdm
Only Gnome wayland is at all supported.
If on your Fydetab the screen rotates incorrectly, you need to install and configure the Screen Rotate
extension.
Run sudo pacman -S extension-manager
to install it, and open the application.
After opening the app, tap Browse
> Search
> Type Screen rotate
> Install Screen Rotate

.
Head back to the Installed
page of Extension Manager and tap the settings cogwheel to open the extension's settings panel.
Then you should increase the value of Set orientation offset
to 1.
The stylus will only point correctly when the screen is rotated vertically by default.
To set this to instead work horizontally:
/etc/udev/rules.d/fydetab.rules
To open the file, run:
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/fydetab.rules
At the bottom of the file, add:
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_INPUT_TABLET}=="1", ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1"
Then press Ctrl + S to save and Ctrl + X to quit.
After reboot the pen will work correctly.
If you mistakenly tried gnome setting's stylus calibration, remove the calibration data by running:
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/tablets
