## My area feels off after changing my monitor settings {#sensitive-monitor-layout}

With absolute outputs modes, OpenTabletDriver has to use your monitor layout to
100+
determine how to map your tablet to your monitor.
101+
102+
However, OpenTabletDriver does not currently get monitor layout updates
103+
dynamically, so any changes to the working dimensions of your monitor layout
104+
will require a daemon restart.
105+
106+
This means that doing any of the following will require you to restart
107+
OpenTabletDriver for the driver to function correctly with absolute output modes:
108+
109+
- Plugging in or enabling a monitor
110+
- Unplugging or disabling a monitor
111+
- Changing the resolution of any of your monitors
112+
- Some applications (such as games) can change your resolution when the
113+
application uses exclusive fullscreen mode.
114+
Use a 'borderless windowed' mode instead.
115+
- Moving monitors around in the monitor layout
116+
- Rotating monitors in the monitor layout
117+
118+
After restarting the daemon, you should double check that the mapped tablet
119+
area is still set as intended.
120+
121+
This is a bug that is planned to be fixed.
