Re: need help: dual monitor with a tablet PC, pen cursor ends up on other monitor

::A mouse is using relative coordinate that cursor’s movement is based

on the current cursor position. Mouse does not know what the display

orientation is but moves by user’s control. The tablet is a pointing

device and is using absolute coordinates that is (0,0) at top left

corner and (max_X, -max_Y) at bottom right. Therefore, the cursor goes

to wherever the pen is pointing at and ignores the current cursor

position. In your case, the primary display is at left and its origin is

(0,0). The tablet PC is at right as a secondary display and its origin

will be (1024,0). The tablet (input device) is a separate device from

the monitor (output device) it is just happening underneath the tablet

monitor. The tablet, likes the mouse, has no way to know what the

display orientation is now unless is set by the user via a utility and

device driver. You can call â€mapping†or “set tablet offset†utility

that tells the device driver to reference an oriented coordinates. You

can find a reference info at

O.S. but only by the tablet vendor. Until then, your tablet cursor

always goes to the primary display. style_emoticons//rolleyes.gif::
