Description Alan Matsuoka 2008-05-26 17:43:27 UTC
Description of problem:
When using multiple monitors, configured in individual mode, with a wacom
tablet, the pointer does not travel to the edges of all monitors. Here is an
example to illustrate the behavior:
Setup: 3 monitors (all configured with a 1600x1200 resolution) and a "Wacom
Graphire3 4x5" (Problem also arrises with the "Wacom Graphire4 4x6")
Software:
       kernel:          2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp
   Xorg:            6.8.2-1.EL.18
   linuxwacom:      0.7.4_3-EL4.5
   nvidia:          9755-4

Now assume that each screen is devide in 3 section:
   section 1 x range: 0-532
   section 2 x range: 533-1066
   section 3 x range: 1067-1599

The wacom table is also devided in 3 sections.

This would then look something like this:
screen         1   2   3
section       123 123 123

wacom tablet  ABC

Now, if the stylus is in section A on the tablet, the cursor is positioned in
section 1 of screen 1
If the stylus is in section B on the tablet, the cursor is positioned in section
2 of screen 2
If the stylus is in section C on the tablet, the cursor is positioned in section
3 of screen 3

The expected behaviour would be that if the stylus is in section A, the cursor
should be positioned in section 1, 2 or 3 on screen 1 depending on the position
of the stylus in section A on the tablet. The same would be expected for section
B and screen 2 and for section C and screen 3
How reproducible:  
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
* Configure multiple screens (2 or more) as individual screens (see attached
xorg.conf)

Actual results:
see description of problem
Expected results:
see description of problem
Additional info:
The problem has been reproduced with 2, 3 and 4 screens

Customer has finally tested Olivier's test packages and they appear to work
successfully.
Can we push up to Engineering for inclusion in RHEL.
