[DIGImend-users] Digimend driver with multiple screens?

[Simon R. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi all, I was unable to subscribe to this list (errors from the mail list
manager program on sourceforge, claiming there was a bug in the system?!)
so I'm hoping this works anyway.

I'm using a Huion610Pro tablet with the digimend driver (very nice, thank
you!)

I am wondering, however if I can configure it to work on just one of the
two monitors on my system. I find that when it spreads it's "reach" across
about 4000 horizontal pixels from two monitors side by side, the resolution
is rather low. I don't need it on more than the one window that I'm doing
graphics on. The wacom driver seems to be able to do this, through the
Ubuntu settings panel, but I find no equivalent for this.

Can it be done? Can anyone point me at how?

TIA,
Simon

Hi Simon,

what you want can be done by calculating and setting Coordinate
Transformation Matrix. You can find more information at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Calibrating_Touchscreen.

Attached you can find small perl script which will do this for you. It uses
xrandr and xinput commands. Let say xrandr says you have two monitors,
LVDS1 and HDMI3. If you want your tablet to work on HDMI3 monitor, you will
use it as ./tass.pl HDMI3. Or ./tass.pl LVDS1 will set X Window to have
tablet for laptop screen. Calling ./tass.pl should just reset CTM, in other
words tablet will be stretched across multiple monitors.

The script is rather crude, hardcoded to work for tablets I have. But
because you have also HUION tablet, it may work for you as well. Or will
need some modification.

Best Regards,
Martin

Ah, this is very helpful Martin, many thanks.

I'm not familiar with perl, so it took a while to work out why
Data::Printer wasn't present and to make it so, and now it complains that
the Huion shows up as three separate devices!

Somehow, the script issues an error "Warning: There are multiple devices
matching HUION PenTablet", but that text seems to come from one of the
commands it's issuing, not from the script itself. I think when I find
that, I should be able to make things work.

Anyway, it's a great relief to know that it can be done at least.

Thanks again,
Simon

Indeed, I got the transformation matrix applied manually, so I'm sure I'll
have it going smoothly soon.

Again, many thanks, this was a huge help!
Cheers,
Simon

Attached is my script to do this on a triple head setup. You'll just
need to edit the top config part to add your monitor ports.
