hrm, I can't figure out the settings for my wacom pen tablet when I'm running dual monitors.... It moves much faster horizontally than it does vertically... Anyway my powerbook screen is wider than the tablet area... how do you set this up?

you need to reset the tablet mapping in the wacom settings.
now that your monitor is 'double wide' you need to have the mapping scaled accordingly.
for example if your mapping was exactly the tablet area for one monitor, you will now need to change the vertical by half so that the horizontal will still be full tablet width

so, does that mean I only have half the tablet area that I had before? Yeah that makes sense, I can't see it being otherwise... I need a bigger tablet....

yes.
i have a pc, but i imagine the settings are the same for mac, but you can set different mapping for different programs.. like say if you set it for photoshop, you can set it be the full canvas..
basically you should play around with the settings to figure it all out.. i wouldnt recommend anything lower than the 8" tablet - anything else is useless.

what the hell does that mean?
It's funny...but doesn't mean anything.

Hm... Where exactly can I find the mapping settings? There's nothing in the "Tablet Properties". I'm on XP, by the way.

under projection/speed
you can set different areas for each monitoor as well here.

anything less than a 10 000 000 000' tablet is useless
especially with a laptop
