I'd love to use xsetwacom to look into some wacom issues & features. For example improving the usability with multiple monitors. But I can't find or install it.

Following: https://medium.com/@microaeris/setting-up-wacom-tablets-with-ubuntu-16-04-d7277e4a595d I have libwacom2 and libwacom-common already installed, but I can't install xserver-xorg-input-wacom:

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-wacom

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The suggested changes when trying to install xserver-xorg-core seemed like a bad idea:

  • Thanks! Installing xserver-xorg-input-wacom-hwe-18.04 instead of xserver-xorg-input-wacom works. I can now use xsetwacom. Jul 23, 2020 at 20:53
