#231262 — Configuring Wacom one on debian (plasma or else [gnome,..])

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi all,

I need to do the following   [ I am a teacher and I have some students in
the room and others via web] :

Using  screen my laptop + a Wacom one tablet + a video projector screen.

I need to  (using an HP zbook 15u G3 wich can use 3 screens with debian sid)
1)  sync the video projector screen  with  [ a part of ] my 'Wacom one'
screen.
2) Map the stylus only to the Wacom one screen ( so i can see what I am
writing by just llonking at my tablet)

So far I was able to do 1) but not 2) with plasma and 2) but not 1) with
gnome.

With plasma even with only 2 screens I was not able to get a correct
mapping using kde-config-tablet ap (it always make it such that  moving the
stylus on the all tablet will mean moving the pointer from the left of one
screen to the right of the other ) I suspected it is bugged but maybe I am
just stupid enough not to make it works...

With Gnome the mapping was correct (limited to the tablet) but I could not
have anything else than an extended desktop, where the video projector's
screen and the wacom's  screen are next to each other and not sync (nor
overlapping) .

Pretty Please If someone know any solutions (on debian though... ) I am
very willing to try (even with command line tool [xrandr?]) I desperately
need this to work !

Cheers,

L.

You might look at arandr. It has the advantage that it can save
configurations as short scripts, which you can then later use to
re-create a setup.

Does anybody read signatures any more?

Thanks,
I did it with xrandr and xsetwacom. (I do think the plasma app
kde-config-tablet is currently bugged on sid )

The good way is simply to use xsetwacom. (an example in french :
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/wacom )

-Use

xrandr

to obtain the list of the screens

-Use

xsetwacom list dev

to identify the devices [pen,eraser...]

And

xsetwacom --set "Name of Wacom device [pen,eraser...]" MapToOutput
"Name of the tab

Cheers
