But dual display and tablet configurations always had one huge problem: the x-server only uses half of the height of the tablet so it can set the right width. It is a pain to use only half of the tablet so for many years I've disabled dual head and lately created a user for only this purpose that I'd start in another x-session.
Digging through the piles of senseless info available in the web I finally found the solution to the problem, which now seems stupidly obvious: xsetwacom
For setting dual display on my desktop I use:
xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of VGA-0
Which puts my DVI monitor at the right of my VGA monitor. Then use xset wacom to restrict my tablet to my DVI, right, monitor:
xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos2 9x12 stylus" "MapToOutput" DVI-0
xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos2 9x12 eraser" "MapToOutput" DVI-0
xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos2 9x12 cursor" "MapToOutput" DVI-0
