[Solved] Map Wacom tablet monitor.

Hello I am a long time fan of XFCE since I picked up an Open Pandora witch has it by default

I was useing Unity on my Dream Studio desktop ut changed it to xfce to get better performance.
So far so good but I am a person who use my Wacom tablet a lot to draw and animate.
And it works just great on xfce but I have one problem. I am useing two monitors and in Unity I had the option to map my tablet to one of them.
This was something I had to be able to do because useing a tablet that is maped to two monitors doesn't work that great for me.

I looked around in the settings and monitos settings but their is not option to map it to a monitor. I wonder if anyone got a fix for this?
I am a bit of a noob when it comes to Linux to copy paste would be preferd it I have to use the Terminal.

I am running version 4.8 distributed by Xubuntu.

Re: [Solved] Map Wacom tablet monitor.

There is some information in the Wacom Arch wiki about mapping the wacom to one screen that should work for other distros as well. It involves using:
1. xrandr to identify the displays (monitors)
2. xsetwacom to identify the device ID
3. xsetwacom to map (contrain) the device to that display.

Unfortunately I don't have a wacom tablet to test this myself.
