Orientation of the Wacom Graphics Tablets Does Not Change
With the xrandr command, you can change the orientation of your display from
within a shell. Enter xrandr --help to view the options available. To simulta-
neously change the orientation of your graphics tablet, the command needs to be
modied as described below:
• For normal orientation (0° rotation):
xrandr -o normal && xsetwacom --set "Serial Wacom Tablet" Rotate
NONE
• For 90° rotation (clockwise, portrait):
xrandr -o right && xsetwacom --set "Serial Wacom Tablet" Rotate CW
• For 180° rotation (landscape):
xrandr -o inverted && xsetwacom --set "Serial Wacom Tablet" Rotate
HALF
• For 270° rotation (counterclockwise, portrait):
xrandr -o left && xsetwacom set --"Serial Wacom Tablet" Rotate CCW
Note that the commands above depend on the output of the xsetwacom list
command. Replace "Serial Wacom Tablet" with the output for the stylus
or the touch device. If you have a Wacom device with touch support (you can use
your ngers on the tablet to move the cursor), you need to rotate also the touch
device.
