Help with mapping

Yesterday I manually installed Arch, today I am trying to map my gaomon tablet

Regardless what I try - OpenTabletDriver, DIGImon, Getting official linux drivers - nothing works.

I use Gaomon PD1161, GNOME recognized it, after some modifications with the console I made OpenTabletDriver to work too, but GNOME started to mistake it as Huion. Doing calibration is impossible, on the screen there is wallpaper only. It doesn't show anything from the first monitor, but when I drag my cursor far enough it appears on tablets screen but much enlarged and unusable. I tried to move my apps on the another screen - nothing, only creates a new display.

Can anyone help me with mapping? Or anything that can fix it? I can't show videos for some reason, I also use Lenovo IdeaPad3. Before Arch i never used linux, only Windows.

UPD: I tried to download x11, ended up failing and making my main GNOME environment extremely shredded and lagging to the point of it being barely usable. I reset the gnome and mutter to the state they were before but it didn't work. My cursor is very fluid but when it comes to the desktop I barelly can open cmd.

UPD 2: OKAY, it is no longer laggy! that's good, but I did needed to delete KDE and X11 and also reinstal GNOME from scratch, also the tablet issue is probably still here...

UPD 3: turns out it was mirror monitoring, i have a good news that my tablet now works perfectly but the mouse cursor still stays on the place and it can get annoying, any help?

UPD 4(FINAL): after some googling i found a fix! since i use (or at least forced to use...) GNOME/mutter, i ran this --> echo 'export WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1' >> ~/.profile" in the terminal

for Hyprland adding env = WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS,1 to the hyprland.conf file should work.
