opentabletdriver shows two cursor position when moving the pen

I'm getting the drivers installed and it does detect my tablet but when I move around I get the issue where it teleports the cursor between two positions.

I asked in their discord and they wanted me to install the .rpm instead but the issue persists even though it's a bit more stable.
Could it be the filters or is something really wrong with the way the driver interacts with the system.

i fixed this by making a bash script that runs on startup with

sudo rmmod wacom

sudo rmmod wacom

this lets OTD recognize the tablet but prevents KDE from seeing it

This happens when there's already integrated support, which is for most wacom stuff

if you prefer OTD you need to remove the wacom module

You might want to blacklist instead of using rmmod

so it doesn't get loaded in the first place

BUT, normally you don't need OTD and wacom driver suffices for supported hardware

This change is also permanent until you undo this yourself

meaning you don't need to keep that bash script at startup
