I will now try a kernel with minimal patches applied as I noticed a lot of warnings about files that would be created by the patch already existing in the kernel source tree. My builds are based on the Ubuntu sources, not upstream.
I'd still like pinch to zoom on the touchpad (ok on the touchscreen). Two finger scroll etc. works fine.
I am using Ubuntu 19.10 with a custom kernel (I need zfs) and after many tries I now have a fully working pen thanks to the fix found here: https://github.com/StollD/linux-surface-fix-eraser
I don't use libwacom at all (took me some time to figure that out), this is purely IPTS based:
