Description

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
