Wacom drivers finally fix monitor spanning

One thing that always irked me about using dual monitors and a wacom pad was having to choose between a tablet setup that only worked on the primary monitor and not the secondary, or a setup where the pad worked on both monitors but at the cost of a very sensitive X axis due to the width of the screen span.

Until now I'd relied on applescript to invoke a "monitor switch" if I was wanting to have the wacom jumping between screens - but apparently Wacom's latest drivers as of December 07 have fixed the issue, and you can now map a button that jumps the pad from one screen to the other in an instant! (only if your running a Cintiq, or an Intuos3 though!)

happy tableting!

  1. Brilliant! Now to buy those 2 x 30" Apple Cinema Displays. I heard someone wanted to get me them for my birthday?

  2. That's great! But what if I want to run 2x Wacom, with 2 monitors each? I saw something similar on the movie Swordfish starring Hugh Jackman. He was great in that.
