Set Wacom area to specific screen. Get name of the screen with `xrandr`:

Set mode to relative (like a mouse) or absolute (like a pen) mode:

xsetwacom set "{device_name}" Mode "{Relative|Absolute}"

xsetwacom set "{device_name}" Rotate {none|half|cw|ccw}

Set button to only work when the tip of the pen is touching the tablet:
