I'm on a widescreen monitor attempting to configure a Wamos drawing tablet with height x width of 9500x15200.
I would expect the monitor to map closely to the tablet, but there is significant vertical compression i.e. drawing a square on the tablet surface results in a rectangle on screen wider than it is tall (by a factor of around 3 or 4). I have experimented with xsetwacom settings and can get the vertical and horizontal proportions more closely aligned with a command like:
xsetwacom set "Wacom Co.,Ltd. Intuos BT S stylus" Area 0 0 15200 2344
For reference here is the man section on this setting.
Area x1 y1 x2 y2
Set the tablet input area in device coordinates in the form top left x/y and bottom
right x/y. Top left and bottom right are defined in the device's native orientation,
regardless of the actual rotation currently applied. Input outside of these coordi‐
nates will be clipped to the edges of the area defined. Default: 0 0 x2 y2; with x2
and y2 tablet specific.
The issue with this is that to lower sensitivity, the solution is seems to be multiplying those last two area values by a constant. This almost works perfectly: the vertical span of the tablet matches the monitor height, and it also takes more horizontal distance across the tablet to travel sideways across the screen, but with one issue.
When traveling horizontally across the tablet, about one third of the way across, the cursor on screen will run into a vertical wall. The tablet is fully functional on its right half, but when trying to move the cursor to the right half of the screen it reaches a bound it cannot cross.
I understand this comes from mucking about with the Area value, but it seems like there should be some way to use the tablet's complete horizontal span while also avoiding any vertical compression.
As it is now my choices are:
Use default settings, which maps a very small portion of the tablet to my whole screen with vertical compression.
Use the Area setting to remove vertical compression but keep default sensitivity.
Use the Area setting to remove vertical compression and lower the sensitivity but completely restrict the cursor to the left portion of my screen despite having ample space on the tablet on its right side.
How do I lower the sensitivity, keep the vertical and horizontal sensitivity equal, and use my tablet to control the cursor across the whole screen?
