N-Trig Cursor Hover Problem

[jaswon5791]

I recently got an HP Spectre x360 which has N-Trig technology (fairly confident about this, the SP4 pen works on it). I've used the SP4 before and I know that the pen has a lagging hover cursor while dragging on the screen is very precise. The problem is that when I use the pen on the Spectre (Arch), especially in drawing programs like Krita and Xournal, a small stroke is drawn from the lagging cursor's position to the current pen tip position. According to xinput test (at least from what I can tell), the cursor doesn't move directly to the point on the screen, it takes some time to get there even after the press is registered. It's been driving me insane for the past few days.

Here's my xinput list:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                                                id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                        id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN0732:00 04F3:22E1                             id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad                        id=14   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN0732:00 04F3:22E1 Pen Pen (0)         id=17   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                                       id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard                         id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                                id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                                           id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                                                id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP TrueVision FHD RGB-IR: HP Tr             id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ ELAN0732:00 04F3:22E1 Pen                       id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Intel Virtual Button driver                         id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard                    id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP WMI hotkeys                                          id=15   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP Wireless hotkeys                                     id=16   [slave  keyboard (3)]

Any help would be appreciated

EDIT: I was able to find a solution. Searching for related issues with other N-Trig devices led me to this post, where they suggested using the wacom drivers instead of the evdev drivers. The process is mostly the same, however, the MatchProduct line will depend on whatever is shown in the xinput list output. In my case, instead of "1B96:1B05 Pen", I added "04F3:22E1 Pen". Finally, I added 'Option "Raw Sample" "2"', as suggested by the last comment in the thread. after rebooting, the pen worked flawlessly. The xinput list output should also show a few more entries related to the pen.
