Help! Huion HS611 how to configure - data incomprehensible

[OldNick]

I installed Digimend and connected my Huion HS611 and set about trying to configure the buttons etc.

I haven't had to do this for 5 years and I've forgotten how and I'm regretting having parted with my H610pro.

At the moment the stylus works partially - if I top button it gives me right click but click from the stylus has no effect on any context menu And the right hand top strip does some unnecessary things like turn off the sound.

I find that some part of the tablet is identified by some part of the system as a joystick... what in hell's name is going on?

if I do xsetwacom list I get
HUION Huion Tablet_HS611 Pad pad id: 17 type: PAD HUION Huion Tablet_HS611 Touch Strip pad id: 18 type: PAD HUION Huion Tablet_HS611 stylus id: 19 type: STYLUS

Asking what the properties of the pad are I get this:

Where are all these buttons? I can only see 10. I tried looking at the manual, but Huion give absolutely no information other than how to install the (Windows, of course) driver. Nothing to identify the buttons or strips or their functions.

I have no idea where to start - what maps where? And how do I configure the buttons? xsetwacom's changed a lot too in the intervening time and their man page isn't exactly full of information either.
