wacom && dual monitor configuration (XFCE)

[amarao_san]

Last piece of xfce comfort environment - Set up wacom to draw only for one monitor.

Dual configuration with xrandr support. If xrandr is not supported (f.e. binary nvidia) this method would not work.

1) Get list of active outputs:

$ xrandr

should looks like this:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 5392 x 1440, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-1 connected 2560x1440+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm
2560x1440 60.0*+
(skip)
640x350 85.1
DVI-I-2 connected 2560x1440+2832+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm
2560x1440 60.0*+
(skip)
640x350 85.1

DVI-I-1/DVI-I-2 is output names.

Next: get list of wacom devices:

$ xsetwacom --list
Wacom Bamboo Connect Pen stylus id: 12 type: STYLUS
Wacom Bamboo Connect Pen eraser id: 13 type: ERASER
Wacom Bamboo Connect Finger touch id: 14 type: TOUCH
Wacom Bamboo Connect Finger pad id: 15 type: PAD

Next: Limit input to single monitor:

$ xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo Connect Pen stylus" MapToOutput DVI-I-2

Option MapToOutput works only with xrandr.
