Hi again,

i have a Dual-Screen Setup, both screens are rotated, but that shouldn't
matter i guess since rotating the Stylus works fine.
The Screens are driven by a nvidia-card with twinview, in a few weeks
though i will have to switch to xinerama when i add a third screen.

I already know how to switch between relative and absolute mode
on-the-fly with a Stylus-Button.
I use relative mode to quickly move around the screen and absolute mode
to handwrite/paint with the stylus because in absolute mode the results
of the handwriting/painting look better.

Since the Screens are large and the Tablet is small i want to confine
the Stylus to one screen when im using it in absolute mode.
I can confine it to one screen but i did not figure out how to switch to
the other screen.
I can move the stylus a little bit outside of screen 0 (maybe 10-20
pixels), is it supposed to "jump" to screen 1 then?

If i switch to relative mode i can move around in both screens but when
i go back to absolute mode it is still confined to the original screen.
I played around with numscreen but i cannot figure out how to use it
correctly.


With shame i will now show you my xorg config:




Section "InputDevice"
    Option         "Mode" "absolute"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Identifier     "stylus"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event2" #USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "stylus"
    Option         "USB" "on" #USB ONLY
#  Option         "Speed" "1"
#  Option        "CursorProx" "10"

    Option        "ScreenNo" "0"
    Option        "Twinview" "horizontal"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Identifier     "eraser"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event2" #USB ONLY

    Option        "ScreenNo" "0"
    Option        "Twinview" "horizontal"
EndSection


Section "InputDevice"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Identifier     "cursor"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event2" #USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "cursor"
    Option         "Mode" "absolute"
    Option         "USB" "on" #USB ONLY
#  Option         "Speed" "0.2"
#  Option        "CursorProx" "10"
#  Option         "mmonitor" "off"
    Option        "ScreenNo" "0"
    Option        "Twinview" "horizontal"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver       "wacom"
    Identifier     "pad"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
    Option         "Type" "pad"
    Option         "USB"  "on"
    Option          "Mode" "absolute"
#  Option        "CursorProx" "10"
#  Option         "mmonitor" "off"
    Option        "ScreenNo" "0"
    Option        "Twinview" "horizontal"
EndSection


As you can probably see i have no clue which option belongs into which
section so i just put them in all.


If somebody could tell me what i have to do in order to confine the
stylus to one screen and being able to switch to the other screen and
back i would appreciate it very much.
