Dunno if this helps, but the pen is called ThinkPad Pen Pro

• Top barrel button:
Hold the top barrel button and tap the screen: Right-click
• Bottom barrel button:
Hold the bottom barrel button to erase the object in supported applications: Erase

And I tested on ubuntu 20.04.1 on X1 Yoga G5 with latest libwacom2(1.3-2ubuntu1), it don't support these two buttons.

The pen from Yoga is not Pen Pro, it's just a two button pen, while the Pen Pro has extra button on top.

I tried below two patches, it could let my Yoga Gen5 works fine.
I could find pen setting at gnome-control-center when the pen touch the screen.

I could customize the second button as right click.

Add multiple AES stylus definitions

    Adds definitions for many different AES styli. The precise information
    about supported features is hard to come by, but in general most pens
    have two buttons (one of which is treated as an eraser) and can only
    report pressure. A few exceptions are known or suspected and their
    data has been set accordingly.

Add isdv4-aes stylus group to all AES sensors

    AES sensors determined based on comments and HID descriptors available
    at the wacom-hid-descriptors repository, where available. Some pen/sensor
    combinations may not truly be compatible with each other, but it difficult
    to know a priori which are problematic. This ultimately doesn't matter
    *too* much, however, since the ID list is primarily used by tools like
    GNOME Control Center that just need a rough idea of what pens might work
    with a given tablet during configuration.

On ThinkPad P1 Gen 3, I upgraded the 1.3-2ubuntu3 in proposed, there are 'AES pen' at 'Wacom Tablet', and I tried set the 'Top barrel button' to 'Right Mouse Button Click', then 'Middle Mouse Button Click', it works fine.

The second button, 'Bottom barrel button', is not supported yet.

I tried the 21.04 with libwacom2:1.8-2ubuntu1, the second button is still not supported, I will open a bug to upstream later.
