Nvidia driver doesn't use the xrandr protocol when dealing with multiple monitors... they have their own extension and they say that it is better and that xrandr is bad, and they report through xrandr only one output (monitor) that covers all nvidia outputs. Thhat's the 'default' output in your xrandr output, it's widht is the sum of widhts of both monitors etc.. They report the physicall layout of monitors through the xinerama extension, but I guess that wacom uses xrandr (xinerama only numbers the display, it doesn't have names, reports only a subset of randr information and is generally older...) I guess your only chance is to find parameters in the wacom display that allow you to restrict the tablet to a certain area by setting the coordinates... (and that would ofcourse work only for a specific resolution...) yoyo
