Public bug reported:

By default, absolute input devices like tablets or touchscreens are
mapped across the user's full screen. This can then be changed to single
screen by, for example:

xinput map-to-output DeviceNum VGA0

This is all well and good, but it appears there is no way to map the
input back to the spanned screen. It would be great if there was a way
to do this, e.g.

xinput map-to-output DeviceName "Screen 0"

Alternatively, if I have missed something obvious, consider this a
documentation bug because I can't find any way to do this mentioned in
man pages or help.

Using xinput 1.6.1.
