Yes, in Manga Studio EX 5, under File/Preferences (Ctrl+K), find "Tablet" on the left side and click it, then click "Tablet PC" instead of "Wintab" or whatever else it says for your setup. This worked for me. Thanks Ashton for the updated info.
You need to adjust the X server's pointer acceleration options for the device. The Wacom driver stopped providing its own (redundant/crude) acceleration options all the way back in late 2009.
There are three pointer acceleration options of interest that can be adjusted at runtime with the xinput
utility:
$ xinput set-int-prop <device> "Device Accel Profile" 8 <int>
$ xinput set-float-prop <device> "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" <float>
$ xinput set-float-prop <device> "Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration" <float>
You can see the current values of these and other device properties by running xinput list-props <device>
. You'll may notice a "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" property in the output as well -- this knob doesn't do what you might think and should generally be left alone. (For the curious: it should be set to 1000.0/ExpectedRate where ExpectedRate is the rate in Hz at which the input device sends events; the Intuos tablets send touch events at ~100Hz).
To speed up your pointer, first try decreasing the "Constant Deceleration" value. If necessary, you can make it less than 1. At some point this should cause the cursor to move fast enough. If you loose the ability to position the cursor precisely with slow movements afterwards, try increasing the "Adaptive Deceleration". If no amount of tweaking seems to let you both move the pointer quickly across the whole screen and move it slowly in a small area, you should try reseting both properties to 1.0 and then changing the acceleration profile.
These options are more fully documented in the man pages (run man xorg.conf
and search for the "POINTER ACCELERATION" section, or try reading this online copy). You'll definitely need to experiment to find a good setting, since it's more than just a single "faster/slower" knob.
Once you find the settings you like you can either save the commands to a script that you can run whenever you want, or create an "xorg.conf snippet" which will automatically apply the settings whenever the tablet is connected. Such a snippet might look like the following and be saved as "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-wacom-overrides.conf":
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Wacom Tablet Overrides"
MatchDriver "wacom"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "<int>"
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "<int>"
Option "AdaptiveDeceleration" "<int>"
EndSection
Note that it is possible that the desktop environment may override settings specified in xorg.conf.d. If this happens, you may have to use the script instead.

First, determine how your system recognizes your tablet.
In a terminal enter:
xsetwacom --list devices
Next determine which display or "output" to map your tablet to in your systems display settings or in the terminal with
xrandr --listactivemonitors
on my system that shows:
Finally, using the information you just gathered, use
xsetwacom --set "[YourWacomDevice]" MapToOutput [your display]
(repeat for each device listed ).[YourWacomDevice] = device name or id:#
so, for me that would be
Since these settings aren't kept after a reboot, you may want to save them in a script that runs on startup.
Using
xsetwacom --help
lists possible options and commands. With the--list parameters
command, we can see a list of all the supported parameters. Near the end of that list isMapToOutput - Map the device to the given output.
man xsetwacom
will display it's manual entry or you can read it herefor more information about identifying and configuring displays with
xrandr
