Plz redirect me to where I can get assistance with this...
Hello,
Using the xinput cmdline tool I'm fully able to leverage my
understanding of the HUION H420 Pen and it's properties. When using
xfconf-query I don't believe the data is being constructed correctly
for passing to XChangeDeviceProperty.

I'm wondering what the format of this buffer should be?
I'm trying to setup a translation matrix for a tablet(actually the
pen). In xinput I get `Coordinate Transformation Matrix (157):
-1.100000, 0.300000, 1.500000, 0.700000, -1.900000, 1.000000,
0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000`, the command issued is `xfconf-query -c
pointers -p /HUION_H420_Pen_Pen_0/Properties/Coordinate_Transformation_Matrix
-n -t double -s -1.1 -t double -s 0.2 -t double -s 0.3 -t double -s
0.4 -t double -s 1.5 -t double -s 1.6 -t double -s 0.7 -t double -s
0.8 -t double -s -1.9` Obviously it looks like xfconf-query's backed
is expecting two values per cell? Because of the code in pointers.c
it's impossible to send more than 9 values, the counts won't match and
the function returns early. I therefore think that the buffer's
format is incorrectly understood.
I'm looking for clarification on the buffers format.
Thanks.
