Independent graphics tablet control
My girlfriend bought a XP Pen 12 graphics tablet for sketching. It connects to a pc with a HDMI cable (acting as a secondary monitor) and with a USB cable as HID device for the touch control.
When the USB interface is connected, it replaces the mouse as input device. This is unfortunate, because that means I can't use the pc while she's drawing on the tablet.
Is there a way to "split" the HID input so that the tablet input can be assigned to the second screen (tablet HDMI), and the actual mouse is still generating input for the primary screen so that I can continue work while she's drawing?
Thanks in advance!
