Configuring tablet buttons for GIMP in linux

Hi

I want to configure the tablet for GIMP on my linux box. I referred to this blog[1], but it assumes that GIMP recognizes input device[2].

I am running GIMP 2.8.20 on x86_64 GNU/Linux ArchLinux 4.11.3 and it does not recognize my device[3].

1. X recognizes my tablet: [Xinput Command log];

2. When xev captures [Mouse Button Release], buttons 1/2/3 has states 0x110/0x210/0x410 respectively;

3. Whereas, that in case of [Tablet Button Release], the eight buttons 1/2/3/8/9/10/11/12 respectively are captured with state 0x10 for each of them.

But the tablet and pen do provide pointer input to the X, which seems to be forwarded to GIMP.

How may I configure the following for GIMP

+ Pressure sensitivity + Tablet Buttons

[Xinput Command log]

% xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouse id=8 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ HUION PenTablet Consumer Control id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ HUION PenTablet Pad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ HUION PenTablet Pen Pen (0) id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HID 04d9:1203 id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HID 04d9:1203 id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HUION PenTablet Consumer Control id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HUION PenTablet Pen id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]

[Mouse Button Release] (using xev)

ButtonRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001, root 0x1d7, subw 0x0, time 575901294, (153,533), root:(157,1502), state 0x410, button 3, same_screen YES

[Tablet Button Release] (using xev)

ButtonPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001, root 0x1d7, subw 0x0, time 575901070, (153,533), root:(157,1502), state 0x10, button 3, same_screen YES

This is the same question posted on SO[4]. But I had no luck to find an answer there. And by now.. the thread would have died out of people's inbox(es)
