OK. But the driver "reports" to the X-server and the X-server provides
data to the application. So the next question is: Is there a way to tell
X-Server to use the devices from the Wacom tablet only on one screen? OR:
Is there a way to configure the driver that the values it reports to the
X-Server are restricted/translated to an x-y field which corresponds to
one screen?

Example: In a dual-screen setup,

Screen 1 has X values A0 to A1 and Y values B0 to B1
Screen 2 has X values A1 to A2 and Y values B0 to B1 (or B2)

In my present setup, the x-values of the tablet are translated to 0 to A2
and part of the tablets y-values are translated to 0 to B. I want that
x-values of the tablet are translated to A0 to A1 OR A1 to A2. Depending
on the aspect ratio of the screen, a larger part of the tablet's y-values
will be translated to B0 to B1.

Are there any possibilities to fix this!

Cheers,

Henning
