Trying to get a Gaomon PD1220 to work on Gentoo

Rocking a multimonitor setup on my laptop using Gentoo and things are great, save for the fact that I can't seem to properly map the active pen area of my Gaomon PD1220 to its own output

Apparently this is because I'm using Xfce4 on an NVIDIA GPU. Regardless, after trying to wrangle with xsetwacom, xrandr, and a bunch of other things to no avail, here's my command line output:

Code: Select all

marrowbuster@rupert ~ $ xsetwacom list
Gaomon Tablet_PD1220 stylus     	id: 10	type: STYLUS    
Gaomon Tablet_PD1220 pad        	id: 11	type: PAD       
Gaomon Tablet_PD1220 Touch Strip pad	id: 12	type: PAD       
Gaomon Tablet_PD1220 Stylus stylus	id: 14	type: STYLUS    
Gaomon Tablet_PD1220 touch      	id: 15	type: TOUCH     
Gaomon Tablet_PD1220 Stylus eraser	id: 28	type: ERASER

I know Gaomon doesn't ship Linux drivers for this thing. Nevertheless I'm ridiculously stubborn and determined to get this thing to work.
