Both of your suggestions in the OS level help linuxwacom users, that is for sure. My concern is how do we deal with a system with 2 identical tablets. I know users running 2 Cintiq 21 UX to gain full accuracy and flexibility. Right now, the system has trouble to tell which Cintiq is the first monitor when the system wakes up from a sleep or even a nap :). Do you guys have any suggestion?
