Only half my Huion h640p tablet maps to my screen

I have the same issue which is described here, but for a Huion h640p tablet instead of the wacom one:Only half of Wacom Intuos tablet area maps to entire screen horizontally

The width x height of my tablet is 65534 x 32767.
But xsetwacom --get "<tablet ID> Area shows 32767 x 32767, and only the left half of the tablet is mapped to the whole of my screen. The problem persists with external monitor connected and removed.

I tried resetting the area forcibly using ResetArea to what it should be, and half of the tablet was mapped to half of my screen; the right half the tablet and the screen were inaccessible.

My system configuration is:

  • Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
  • KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
  • KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
  • Qt Version: 5.12.8
  • Kernel Version: 5.11.0-41-generic
  • OS Type: 64-bit

The tablet was working fine before I made the following updates through Discover:

Okay, update:

I had switched on Secure Boot in the UEFI menu for an unrelated reason(Win11).

I now switched it off and the tablet works without any issues.
