Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
Using with multiple monitors
----------------------------
If you're using multiple screens, you can assign the Network Tablet device to a specific screen
once it's running (thanks to @symbally and @Evi1M4chine, https://github.com/rfc2822/GfxTablet/issues/30#issuecomment-30605827):
1. Use `xrandr` to identify which monitor you would like to have the stylus picked up on. In this example, `DVI-I-1`
is the display to assign.
2. Do `xinput map-to-output "$( xinput list --id-only "Network Tablet" )" DVI-I-1`.
Known issues
------------
* With Gnome 3.16 (as shipped with Fedora 22), [Gnome Shell crashes when using GfxTablet](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209008).
