I was able to make this work, which may also help to pinpoint the
problem. I have had this problem at least since Jaunty (maybe also on
Ibex, but def. not on Hoary), now also on Karmic (Ubuntu). Steps I took
to make the tablet work on the first screen:

1. Download the attached custom_wacom.fdi and put it in the /etc/hal/fdi/policy directory.
2. plugin your wacom tablet.
3. Open the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. Find this bit, or something similar:

(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event9"
Wacom Volito2 4x5 eraser Wacom X driver grabbed event device
(==) Wacom using pressure threshold of 30 for button 1
(==) Wacom USB Volito2 tablet speed=9600 (38400) maxX=5104 maxY=3712 maxZ=511 resX=1016 resY=1016  tilt=disabled
(==) Wacom device "Wacom Volito2 4x5 eraser" top X=0 top Y=0 bottom X=5104 bottom Y=3712 resol X=1016 resol Y=1016

3. Note down the "Bottom X" (5104 here) and "Bottom Y" (3712) values from the last line. Adjust the BottomX/BottomY values in the custom_wacom.fdi as follows:
	BottomX = Bottom X / 2 (=2552) (tip: if you make it +1 (=2553), it will be the last pixel of your screen, which is easy for scrolling in the edge of the tablet)
	BottomY = Bottom Y (3712) (you might want to leave it out altogether)
	
4. save, and unplug/plug your tablet. It should work properly now. 

*My setup is a 1920x1200 monitor as the first device, and a 1920x1080
lcdtv as the second. I have a Volito2. Other settings in the fdi file
might not be necessary, havent tested that.

Needless to say, I'm so happy with my returned tablet functionality!
