I recommend OpenTabletDriver now. I made the guide you see bellow a long time ago when OpenTabletDriver didn't even exist.

How to set up XP-Pen G430 or G640 on Linux (KDE Only)

It took me a while to figure this out, so I'm putting this here so you'll have an easier time.
This is for KDE only. I have not used other DEs for osu! so I can't help you there.

Install these packages

• Arch based distro: xf86-input-wacom and kcm-wacomtablet
• Debian based distro: xserver-xorg-input-wacom and kde-config-tablet

Configure

• Make the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder if it does not already exist.
  • sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
• Create this file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-tablet.conf
  • For XP-Pen G640, put this in:

    Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "G640"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchProduct "XP-PEN STAR G640"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "wacom"
    EndSection

  • For XP-Pen G430, put this in:

    Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "G430"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchProduct "UGTABLET TABLET G3 4x3"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "wacom"
    EndSection

• Reboot
• System Settings > Hardware > Input Devices > Graphic Tablet > Manually register a tablet device > Save
• Reboot
• Go back to those settings and you should be able to configure your area, smoothing and etc.
