I tested the latest artifact on kernel 6.5.8-200.fc38.x86_64 and I also removed my custom configuration at startup (I had not much: an hwdb files for the 24 Pro −mainly for frame buttons− and an xsetwacom bash script for each tablet). 

During the tests, the styluses of both 24 Pro and 16 Pro Gen2 worked perfectly: right-click on upper button out-of-the-box, and the eraser tip of the 16 Pro Gen2 continued to erase as expected. 

I could also target with xsetwacom this 'button 3' of the styluses, and I tested random available shortcuts (but I'll keep default right-click).

So, good job, and many thanks!

I want now to write a follow-up after the first blog-post. I see it is a MR [1], maybe it means if it get merged it will be part of libevdev? What would you advice to write for the ones who want to benefit from the fix?

Thanks again,
David
