Drawing tablet and twinView monitors

[J_Me]

I'd like to configure my drawing tablet so that it spans only one monitor and not two(I'm using twinView from nvidia)
Did some searching and found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1461978 but it's a little outdated, so before I start messing with things thought I'd better ask if there are any other alternatives.
I'm running kubuntu 12.04 with an nvidia graphics card
TIA

Hi J_Me,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!


I gather you have a Wacom tablet? Don't know if the KDE Wacom configuration gui applet assists with monitor placement like the Gnome version does: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...guration_Tools

You are correct and that thread is outdated. A new xsetwacom parameter was added called MapToOutput. If the gui configuration applet doesn't do the job that is what you would want to use.

Thanks for the reply Favux
I should have mentioned the tablets make, it's not a wacom but a Aiptek

Also I should have searched apt-get kde wacom as it returns "kde-config-tablet" which works like a charm
Thank for the help

Good!

For completeness' sake instructions on how to do it through the command line for non-wacom tablets are at the Multi-Monitor HOW TO.
