Related: FullHD lcd monitor read as 1024x768 CRT, wrong resolution problem
I had issues with my DVI cableo n my yiynova mvp22u digitizer, it's no longer transmitting EDID data, I did not happen to have a copy of the EDID data for the monitor so to get the resolution of the monitor right I used the EDID from a different monitor, this solved the issue of having a wrong screen resolution, but created a new problem.
The area of the pointer is correctly confined to the screen which is below my other screen by way of
xinput set-prop 8 "Evdev Axis Calibration" 0 2040 -2000 2020
My tablet monitor is below another 1080p lcd monitor.
However the issue that arose is that the active drawing area on the screen is completely out of proportion with the active drawing area in the drivers. Or to put it more simply,
Right now, if I draw with my stylus on the tablet, a small area in the upper left corner of my screen will drag my pointer across the entire screen, we're talking roughly a 1x1 inch area is being translated to the entire 22inch screen area. If I move the stylus outside of this 1x1 area the pointer will go into the corners of the screen.
I'm using digimend and evdev, these are the parameters I have to work with.

The one most likely to be able to fix my issue would be "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" but I have absolutely no idea how it works, I've read a bunch about it online but it doesn't make any sense to me at all.
I wish I could just change out my cable and get the correct EDID out that way but this is not an option since the cable is embedded in the screen.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
