Bug Description
I have two monitors on a PC running Windows 7 x64. My primary on the right, secondary to the left of it. I set my driver to only use a single screen for input (monitor 1, 1920x1080). When using Inkscape, the input is offset, varying depending on what resolution the secondary monitor is set to.
I actually managed to "fix" it. I opened up a memory editor, hooked it to inkscape and searched for the combined length of both monitors (3200 if the secondary is 1280) and changed it to 1920. After doing that, the tablet worked perfectly.
Inkscape doesn't seem to be reading screen width (edit: make that height as well) from the driver properly. I don't know anything about the APIs or standards involved, but if it's as simple a fix as changing a value in memory..? It's far from a permanent or practical fix, the memory layout changes every time so it's inconvenient to do every time to say the least.
This happens in the nightly builds as well as the latest stable. The tablet is a Huion 580, which is basically a generic model. I'd assume the same thing happens on Monoprice tablets as well as many others since they all use interchangeable drivers.

Hi, I read the article you published above, I also have a Huion 580 graphic tablet, I bought it recently. It is perfect at first, I like it very much. Then one day I draw on my tablet on screen, it takes a few seconds to respond. I wrote to their service center to ask for a solution. They told me I did not install the driver well, and ask me to update a new driver. I did as their instruction reset the driver, then the tablet worked perfectly again. Hope this will hope to solve your problem./this Link is where I download the new driver. you can have a try. http:// www.huiontablet .com/download/
