Xinput: no way to map absolute input to whole screen

[Akdor 1154]

By default, absolute input devices like tablets or touchscreens are mapped across the user's full screen. This can then be changed to single screen by, for example:

xinput map-to-output DeviceNum VGA0

This is all well and good, but it appears there is no way to map the input back to the spanned screen. It would be great if there was a way to do this, e.g.

xinput map-to-output DeviceName "Screen 0"

Alternatively, if I have missed something obvious, consider this a documentation bug because I can't find any way to do this mentioned in man pages or help.

Using xinput 1.6.1.
