Wacom, Dual-Screen, and Cursor Offset

[Kenji Miyamoto]

Well now that I have my Wacom tablet working mostly, it seems to be offset by half a screen when I try to paint with it. That's bad because I have sloppy focus enabled and as soon as the cursor ends up on the other monitor, the program I'm painting in loses focus. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd rather have the cursor within a few tens of pixels of the tablet's pointer so it doesn't lose focus regularly. I've tried these options, but they do nothing:

You could try offsetting this through the calibration parameters with the xinput command (it will take a lot of experimentation to get it right). I'm not sure of the proper place to put these options permanently since xorg.conf seems ignored when using hal/evdev and all that BS, so I have a script that runs at login and resume from suspend/hibernate that sets the parameters on my laptop touchscreen (it also has to reattach the touchscreen because it's implemented as a serial device that gets disconnected when the machine goes to sleep). The best hint I can give is using device and parameter names rather than numeric ID's for xinput because the numbers can change.

I'd give you an example of the commands I use but I don't have my laptop with me at the moment.
