## The cursor feels slow on Artist Mode {#libinput-smoothing}

Using Artist Mode will result in some minor smoothing due to libinput's tablet handling.
132+
If you are using a release version of OpenTabletDriver v0.6.4.0 or older, this
133+
is expected, and a workaround exists [below](#libinput-smoothing-on-old-versions).

To disable this smoothing, add the contents below to `/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks`:
135+
On newer versions (v0.6.5.0 and up), this is fixed in packaging.

### With OpenTabletDriver Version 0.6.5.0 or newer
138+
139+
Smoothing on the virtual tablet provided by OpenTabletDriver should already be
140+
disabled via packaging. You can verify that the attribute is set with the
141+
`liblinput quirks list <path>` command.
142+
143+
Figuring out the path is left as an exercise for the reader, but it is
144+
typically one of the **newest** (not necessarily highest numbered) `event##`
145+
device in `/dev/input/`.
146+
147+
If this attribute is not set correctly, please report it the person responsible
148+
for packaging OpenTabletDriver for your Linux distribution.

### With OpenTabletDriver Version 0.6.4.0 or earlier {#libinput-smoothing-on-old-versions}
151+
152+
With OpenTabletDriver v0.6.4.0 and earlier, using Artist Mode will result in
153+
some minor smoothing due to libinput's tablet handling, for which the quirk is
154+
not officially included in packaging.
155+

To disable this smoothing manually, add the contents below to `/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks`:
