I think the problem is connected with the rescaling issue of xserver 1.4, as you also suspect. I think I've seen a bug report that the lw-driver doesn't honor the way the screens are laid out, but that would only explain why the pointer only moves on the left of the left and the right of the right, and not in the middle or on only one screen. > If the latter, is there a known workaround, or is this something > we are waiting on xorg 1.5 and the scaling code to be restored > before it can be fixed? Sorry, I don't know of a workaround.. What I would like would be to get the new Input API for the xserver defined and rewrite the driver from scratch (but other parts of my life keeps me a tad busy atm). The rescaling code is in both 1.5 and master (which now has MPX merged), so this could be a good starting point. However in 1.4 and 1.5 there are a few things that has changed and it is fully possible that changes that affect the behaviour of our driver are not aligned with all Xorg versions.

Bug#483494: xserver-xorg-input-wacom: problems with multiple screens
Hi Jakob, I'm forwarding this to the linuxwacom list for confirmation and discussion, but I suspect this may be related to trouble with xorg 1.4 and the rescaling ... Magnus, is this just a misconfiguration issue, or a real problem? If the latter, is there a known workaround, or is this something we are waiting on xorg 1.5 and the scaling code to be restored before it can be fixed?

Bug#483494: xserver-xorg-input-wacom: problems with multiple screens
Package: xserver-xorg-input-wacom Version: 0.8.0.2-2 Severity: important In my dual-headed setup, I run a single X session with two screens. When using a wacom tablet as a pointer, anything left of center on the tablet corresponds to the left half of my left monitor, and anything on the right half of the tablet points to the right half of the right monitor. So, if you were to number the halves of my monitors 1-4, left-to-right, I can only actually access halves 1 and 4, and not touch 2 or 3 (the insides). +-+-+ +-+-+ | | | | | | | 1 | 2 | | 3 | 4 | | | | | | | +-+-+ +-+-+ -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-input-wacom depends on: ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.1~git20080517-1 Xorg X server - core server xserver-xorg-input-wacom recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
