Hi, I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with i3-gaps. I have a command which is needed to use my XP-PEN Tablet properly. There is my command.

Code:

xinput set-prop "XP-PEN G430S Pen Pen (0)" --type=float "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1.155756, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.529, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000

Thanks in advance

Have you tried just putting the command into your WM config file, i.e. ~/.i3/config or ~/.config/i3/config or whatever it's called in i3-gaps? It should have an exec directive. Something like

Code:

exec --no-startup-id "xinput set-prop 'XP-PEN G430S Pen Pen (0)' --type=float 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 1.155756, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.529, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000"

Yes, my bad. I couldn't think it
