The stylus can move in the left area of my 1st monitor fine. But when I
move it to the right area, it jumps to the right area of my 2nd monitor;
it never reached the right area of my 1st monitor. Likewise I cannot
- reach the left half of my 2nd monitor.
+ reach the left half of my 2nd monitor. See the added screenshot to
+ visualize it.
Both monitors run a separate x screen each (non-Twinview).
My stylus is set to move in absolute mode.
If I set my stylus to relative mode, this bug does not occur.
From what I understand in the docs, the "mmonitor" property allows the
stylus to move from one screen to the next, much like how a standard
mouse can move the mouse cursor from one screen to the next when it
reaches the edge of one screen. Moreover, turning "mmonitor" off
actually solves my problem. (It is notable that wacomcpl does not expose
the "mmonitor" property so users have to use the command line to edit
this.)
However I do know that there are other users who like "mmonitor" on,
i.e. they want that the stylus can reach both monitors, so I guess this
should be fixed.
