Tablet issues...
17 years ago
Grr... Sometimes things just don't work.
I have this crappy Trust TB2100 tablet to do some doodling sometimes, but I have recently run into a major issue. The issue is that I have a dual screen setup. "That's sweet!", you might think. Well, it WOULD be great if the tablet behaved itself.
The issue is the following:
The driver seems to treat the dual screen layout as one huge screen. one next another, making it a screwy combination of 13:9 and 16:10 aspect ratio. Well, the tablet has an issue with the drawing surface. The tablet is an A6-sized thing, with ratio of 4:3... So the movement of the pen is messed up badly. it moves across two screens when I move it from side to side, and when I pull it fown from the top, it goes down normally. Basically, I have 2 inverted aspect ratio things... Drawing at the moment is impossible for me.
I have also heard Wacoms might have the same...
Does anyone know what to do to fix this mess?
Please, drop me a line if you know, as I don't check FA and this Journal regularly enough.

Trust says that tablet should work with dual monitor setup, but if its driver doesn't give an option to select the screen, it's not much of a use for anything but pointing things with it...
I had some cheap tablet at first, but it had that same trouble, it worked oddly with double screens, the cursor jumped randomly when drawing, and finally it just didn't work with my machine anymore. Though I had to do quite a bit of digging to find the cheapest Wacom that would work with dual monitors too, they're not the most active company when it comes to keeping their drivers up to date, especially on the low end tablets. But I have to admit, it's still the best choice there is.
Which OS are you using? Just making sure it will work with XP, too. :)
