I’m using a windows10 PC and a Gaomon pd1161 tablet. Whenever I try to draw on the canvas, my pointer has a large offset from the pen. I tested it in GIMP, and the problem is not my tablet, as GIMP works just fine. The offset is also not applied in any other part of krita besides the canvas area. I saw a post on here saying I need to switch from the WinTab to the other setting in the tablet settings, but after I did that, the pen’s pressure inputs stopped working and the output was one consistent line. Is there any way to fix this?
Update: I fixed one problem and created another. The problem with the pressure stuff was because I had windows ink disabled on my drivers. Once I enabled it and switched krita to use windows ink, the pressure thing worked, but now the offset is in the opposite direction. before it was up and to the left, now its up and to the right. I am far more confused than before. And now, with the windows ink settings, the offset is being applied in the menus as well. I recalibrated my tablet and tested it in GIMP, and the problem appears to be krita.
I solved the problem. For some reason the problem is fixed by setting my computer to duplicate the display, rather than extend the display. I would have liked to use my tablet as a second display and display whatever else I want to my monitor, but this works, I guess.
To complete this topic for other help seekers, and for those who are dissatisfied with the above solution, or for whom it does not work, I have two more suggestions to address these difficulties:
If you have more than one display, you can assign in the display settings of Windows which display should be the main display for Windows (accessible by right-clicking on the desktop¹), this would be the next possibility to address this problem, and another possibility to fix this is to swap the connectors of the displays on the graphics card with each other.

¹ In the display settings, click on the monitor to which the number 2 is assigned, and then further down on the settings page, below the “Multiple screens” setting, check the “Use this display as the main display” checkbox, thus setting this as the main display.
Note: The names may be different for you, I have translated them from my German Windows.
This sounds like the tablet was set to fit all screens. Since the tablet size isn’t actually the size off all screens combined resolution it calculates the position incorrectly (since screen resolution is now bigger than the pen area).
Mirroring output works coincidentaly when both screens have the same resolution. The correct way would be to set the tablet driver to only map to the tablet screen, then you can set the screen display to extended. The pen cursor only will be active on the part of the combined screen that is on the tablet, and the offset gone since the tablet screen is now the only one to calculate the cursor position.
