Especially the following statements in the docs I found interesting:

    Option "ButtonM" "AC": Use "modetoggle" to assign it to switching
    between relative and absolute mode, which is useful to switch windows
    in a multi-monitor environment.

    Option "Twinview": sets the  orientation of TwinView to map the tablet
    to one screen and to be able to move the screen cursor from one
    screen to the other when tool reaches the edge of the tablet.

So I thought I could use them when connecting my notebook to a beamer to use 
the full tablet area for every screen and somehow switch between the two.

Something like this:

    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "stylus"
        Driver      "wacom"
        Option      "Type" "stylus"
        Option      "USB" "on"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option      "KeepShape" "on"
        Option      "Twinview" "horizontal"
        Option      "TVResolution" "1920x1200,1024x768"
    EndSection

    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "pad"
        Driver      "wacom"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option      "Type" "pad"
        Option      "USB" "on"
        Option      "Button11" "modetoggle"
    EndSection

I would then switch the stylus to relative mode, move to the other screen, and 
then switch back to absolute mode. If there is a possibility to move directly 
between the screens with the Twinview option only, as the above text implies, 
it would be even better. Or insn't "Twinview" intended for the stylus?

I will do that, if it's not possible with the current options.

With best regards,
Stefan
