xsetwacom

Command-line tool to change settings for Wacom pen tablets at runtime.

• 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"
