### Requirements ###
* X Server 1.8 or later
* xf86-input-wacom-0.10.9 or later

## MapToOutput ##
Tip: The '''MapToOutput''' [[xsetwacom]] parameter requires at least xf86-input-wacom-0.11.99.1 to work with the NVIDIA binary driver. See [[Coordinate Transformation Matrix|Dual-and-Multi-Monitor-Set-Up#coordinate-transformation-matrix|]] instead.


The wacom driver does not support multi-monitor setups directly - handling of such setups is handled by the X Server. [[xsetwacom]] does however provide a parameter to easily map a tablet to a screen

# If the key already exists in another user (or machine user) or is a deploy key in a project/repo, it can't be used anywhere else.
# Github doesn't inform the owner of the key, the project or any other data about the conflict
# You only see the key fingerprint in every project or user, and a user filed description (text, might not have relation to actual key)

# How to see a github compatible fingerprint from a public id_rsa key file:
