Pen input not translated to correct monitor (but touch is)

[cpiber]

Note that this is specifically about a touchscreen, not an input tablet.

I have a setup with an eGPU, so my primary monitor is not the touchscreen monitor of the laptop, but rather an external display. See below for monitors output

When I use my finger to tap the screen, everything works as expected, I can tap, drag, etc. and it seems to be the correct position. When I use the pen (manufacturer's pen, MSI), all the actions are applied in the primary display instead.

I had a similar problem, where I have a convertible and a second monitor
I fixed it with this config:

device {
    name = wacom-hid-52cd-pen // input device
    transform = 0
    output = eDP-1 // your monitor
}

maybe this helps

[cpiber]

Thanks, that has indeed fixed it

For me, the screen shows up as a stylus and as a touchscreen:

Tablets:

		elan-touchscreen-stylus
			size: 300x188mm


Touch:
	Touch Device at 6250f8104810:
		elan-touchscreen

I had to fix the stylus to the monitor. Just curious that it works for the finger but not the pen
