Hi,

I haven't tried anything yet, but i had to investigate your question since
i might have to do this configuration myself sometime soon.

I found this. It's an old thread, but it may still be helpfull:

post #8 goes into deatils on how to calculate the coordinates using the
nvidia controls.

But at linuxwacom, i found another article that seems to be a little more
furbished as to how to deal with nvidia:

I hope this helps! :)
