I would like a function to configure the buttons on my graphics tablet. The pen is recognized, as is my tablet, but I can't configure any buttons. That would be great.

There is unfortunately nothing we can do about that, your buttons need to be exposed by a driver for us to pick up on them. I did some searching, and found https://github.com/tequeter/huion-inspiroy2-linux which says Digimend may have a driver for you. You would just need to the driver part, the X related stuff is not relevant and can configured through the GUI.

Thank you for your efforts. I think it's supported by OpenTabletDriver. However, I can't use it on this system (immutable and alpha). And in general, wouldn't it be better to use this driver as a base? Many tablets are supported.

I don't think there's anything on a technical level stopping OpenTabletDriver from running on an immutable OS like KDE Linux, it does run in userspace after all. I have some qualms about OpenTabletDriver (it blacklists a kernel module that provides support for a lot of tablets, for example) but it's ultimately not my decision, it has to be brought up with the KDE Linux team: https://invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux/-/issues
