  • List all the available Wacom devices. The device name is in the first column:
    xsetwacom list
  • Set Wacom area to specific screen. Get name of the screen with `xrandr`:
    xsetwacom set "device_name" MapToOutput screen
  • Set mode to relative (like a mouse) or absolute (like a pen) mode:
    xsetwacom set "device_name" Mode "Relative|Absolute"
  • Rotate the input (useful for tablet-PC when rotating screen) by 0|90|180|270 degrees from "natural" rotation:
    xsetwacom set "device_name" Rotate none|half|cw|ccw
  • Set button to only work when the tip of the pen is touching the tablet:
    xsetwacom set "device_name" TabletPCButton "on"
