Hi everyone,
I've got my tablet set up in slackware and it works pretty well. The only problem now is that I can't get to the "Stylus" option in wacomcpl, because it's not listed there. I want to make it so that, just like i have it set up in windows, the screen is mapped to only part of the 9x12 tablet. This can be done for the mouse with the "Cursor" option, an i understand that "Stylusl lkm " controls the pen. However, when i open wacomcpl, the device listing is rather strange. I have "eraser","cursor","usb","0". The last two are particularly interesting, since I don't see them listed in any screens of the utility itself. I guess my questions are 1)Where's the "Stylus" option, and 2)Where did the "usb" and "0" options come from????
Thanks for any follow-ups!

I'm afraid that the best I can do is to try to point you in the right direction. I use a Wacom Graphire 3. I've never configured screen mapping, but I think you would change /etc/X11/xorg.conf and plug in the options for your stylus there. It would go something like this...

Option "TopX" "number"
Option "TopY" "number"
Option "BottomX" "number"
Option "BottomY" "number"

There's better info in section 5.1 of the docs at http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net

I hope this helped a little bit.

Thanks Jim! Worked like a charm! Also, something very weird happened. I've had my Wacom set up in Slackware for a while now, but the buttons (on the stylus) were mapped backwards: what should've been a double click was being read as a right click, and vice versa. Somehow, when I plugged in numbers for those options you posted, the mapping is fixed, and each button on the stylus behaves as it's supposed to. So you fixed 2 problems for me when you though you were only fixing one. Thanks so much!

Cool. I hadn't even thought of trying that until you asked, so we both learned something.
