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

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance




::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 ?mapping? or ?set tablet offset? utility
that tells the device driver to reference an oriented coordinates. You
can find a reference info at

(http://tinyurl.com/njtoyf):: this file. Your issue can not be solved by
O.S. but only by the tablet vendor. Until then, your tablet cursor
always goes to the primary display. :rolleyes:::
