No problem, we don't have a multi monitor setup. > I can see a workaround for your case. No workaround needed. In the Gimp, mapping the tablet (or part of it) to just the drawing area is no problem. So, I assume that mapping the tabled (or part of it) to just a window with buttons also should be no problem. > You can just leave an edge, say right side > edge of your tablet, unmapped so cursor would not move when you move > in that area. I know how to define several areas on the tablet and how to map them to screen - no problem. > In your program, open your buttons window when tools > (Wacom stylus or mouse) are in that area.

My wacomcpl (tcl/tk > based) was derived from tkxinput. Calibration works there. A misunderstanding: We're not interested in calibration. I only used the calibration tool to check whether tkxinput works at all, and it didn't. We want to use tkxinput for programming our own application. -- Felix E.
