XP-Pen Artist Pro 15.6 tablet buttons no longer recognized

I have a XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro tablet that I've been using on Linux Mint 19.3 (Ubuntu 18.04) without issue for a while. Until I recently installed some updates and found that the script I run to configure my tablet (mostly a wrapper around some xsetwacom calls) no longer works.

Previously the stylus input was mapped to a device called "UGTABLET 15.6 inch PenDisplay Pen stylus", and the buttons were mapped to one called "UGTABLET 15.6 inch PenDisplay Pad pad". Now, though, running xinput list shows me the following:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouse                id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad                id=13   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ UGTABLET 15.6 inch PenDisplay Mouse touch id=16   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ UGTABLET 15.6 inch PenDisplay stylus      id=17   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ UGTABLET 15.6 inch PenDisplay eraser      id=18   [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)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Tenor Electronics DigiHug USB Audio       id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP Wide Vision HD Camera: HP Wi           id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP WMI hotkeys                            id=14   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP Wireless hotkeys                       id=15   [slave  keyboard (3)]

My tablet doesn't support touch input and doesn't have an eraser, and there is no longer any device for it listed in the keyboard section. By adjusting the name of the stylus device I am able to configure the stylus input to work as before, complete with pressure sensitivity, but the buttons no longer work as there is no device to set with xsetwacom. I don't see any Wacom-related packages among those updated, so I'm not sure what has changed. How do I get Linux to recognize my tablet as before?

Linux Mint is not an official flavor of Ubuntu and it is unsupported on this site. BTW, try booting with an older kernel. You can also ask in the Mint forums, or at http://unix.stackexchange.com

Only Ubuntu and official flavors of Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) are on-topic here, refer to https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic where you'll find other SE sites where you question will be welcome if you don't want to use a Mint forum. (*One advantage of Ubuntu is it's many support options, you opted for Mint so take advantage of it's support options, or SE Unix & Linux*)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
