Dual Monitor

If you have are using a dual screen setup, one problem you will have is that the default mapping of your tablet will be across both screens. For me this makes drawing useless, as circles become ovals.

I've tried different options provided by the driver page howto but unable to get a satisfactory result when use Xrandr to setup your dual monitors (default with the Display Preferences).

The best solution, was to enabled TwinView option, which maps the tablet accurately to my first 1920x1200 monitor, but only for 80% of the width. This affects the cursor too, which means, I can't use the extra space for palettes without having to access it with a mouse.

The ideal situation would be that stylus and eraser, map to this accurate space, but still be able to select and navigate both screens with "cursor".

You'll have go back to editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf for this to work.. the following is mine:

#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
