I recently hooked up my Wacom Intuos4 graphics tablet up to my xubuntu system to do some sketching, however because I have two monitors the default settings meant my tablet controlled as though it had an aspect ratio of 2:1. i.e. moving stylus 1 inch horizontally would result in it being moved twice the distance across my screen as it would if I had moved my stylus 1 inch vertically. This renders the tablet pretty much unusable as drawing a circle requires you to shaped ellipse on the surface. I fixed the problem by adding the following line to my start up script forcing it to map input from my tablet to just my primary screen (DFP3 in my xconf): xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 WL stylus" MapToOutput DFP3 I think it would be great if this functionality was available through the mouse and touchpad settings. e.g. have a checkbox for "restrict input to single screen" and a drop down menu of available xorg screens. Thanks for taking my request in to consideration, Chris
On a more general level, it would be very useful to have an enhanced (and maybe indipendent) configuration tool for Graphics Tablets. KDE has it (great), Gnome has it (not totally useful), and Graphics Tablets have become quite popular among users. I think that Xfce users would benefits from it. Thanks!

Hello, I am new in contributing for xfce actually I have just subscribed in. I think I can help developing a tool for tablets. But to do so I would like to know if some other people are currently working on it. Thanks Fabien
Just a warning: On systems with the nvidia driver, xsetwacom only accepts MapToOutput HEAD-0, HEAD-1, etc, instead of the xrandr name of the output!
