1 I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti running nvidia-drivers 275.09.07. It
2 supports dual monitors via Twinview. I have a Wacom Inspire3 6 x 8 Tablet.
3 The tablet is working but it covers the entire display across both monitors
4 and I'd like to restrict it to one monitor.
5
6 This is supposed to be done via
7
8 xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos3 6x8 pad" MapToOutput VGA1
9
10 VGA1 is supposed to be the name of the display you want to restrict it to, and
11 that name is supposed to be available via xrandr. xrandr gives me the
12 following output:

14 ddjones@kushiel ~ $ xrandr
15 xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
16 Screen 0: minimum 2048 x 768, current 3360 x 1050, maximum 3360 x 1050

45 I've tried guessing at the display name, trying VGA, DVI and LVDS with various
46 numbers appended but xsetwacom simply complains that the display does not
47 exist.
48
49 I've also tried setting the Coordinate Transformation Matrix as described
50 here:
51
52 http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Dual_and_Multi-
53 Monitor_Set_Up#Dual_Monitors
54
55 I can set the matrix via the xinput command and xinput list-props for the
56 device confirms that the matrix is set to the new value but it does not alter
57 the behaviour of the tablet - it still spans both displays. I set and
58 confirmed the matrix for the pad, the eraser and the cursor.
59
60 Any advice or suggestions on how to either either identify the display names
61 (or fix whatever issue causes xrandr not to display the info) or to otherwise
62 restrict the tablet to one monitor would be greatly appreciated.
