xinput forgets settings (props) after unplugging/plugging back

[Pierre M.]

I have recently acquired a Huion graphic tablet. It works well without configuration but I need to set some properties to enhance my experience. I've done so with the following commands:

xinput set-prop "HUION PenTablet Pen" "Evdev Axis Inversion" 1, 1
xinput set-prop "HUION PenTablet Pen" --type=float "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0.6 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1

These commands are working but the modifications are forgotten when I unplug the tablet and plug it back in. According to an answer found on askubuntu, this is a bug that should be reported.

I know these settings aren't supposed to be remembered after shutting down the computer, this is different and cannot be solved by a script running at startup.
