Access buttons on XP-Pen graphic tablet (Arch Linux, KDE)

Hi all,

I bought an XP-Pen Artist Pro 15.6 and try to re-map the 8 express keys. I used this posting, to adept my configuration:

https://www.davidrevoy.com/article842/r … o-on-linux

After creation of

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-xppen.conf

xinput returns in the section "Virtual core keyboard"

UGTABLET 15.6 inch PenDisplay Keyboard

ids are 10 for the keyboard, 11 for the stylus, 21 for the eraser and 9 for the mouse

Then I created

/etc/udev/hwdb.d/90-xppen.hwdb

with

evdev:input:b0003v28bdp90de0100*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_d0045=0x14c
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70005=0x2a
 KEYBOARD_KEY_700e2=0x02
 KEYBOARD_KEY_700e0=unknown
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70016=w

While the device is correctly addressed, I do not understand the mapping-syntax: I scanned the Button events with xev, but I do not know, how I translate the information to to the "KEYBOARD_KEY_XXXXXX" and where to get the proper value for a wanted key- or mouse-event.

Furthermore, with

xinput -test 11

I see an event when I press the button 2 of the stylus (button 1 is the tip itself), but I do not see any event if I press the button 3.

Can anybody give me a helping hand, how to configure these buttons?

Thank you and Kind regards,
Peer
