Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
Hi, I've a toshiba portege m700 which is a tablet-pc with touchscreen capability. The stylus and eraser work like a charm after adding some lines to xorg.conf as described in this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WacomTroubleshooting There is also a useful page about setting up everything on this laptop too at: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaPortegeM700 The problem is the touchscreen. I added these lines to my xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "touch" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" # SERIAL ONLY Option "Type" "touch" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Serial Tablet PC ONLY EndSection And touchscreen worked but it does not recognize coordinates. I'll try to explain how does it behaves: It seems that the the whole screen is mapped in a little rectangle on top left corner of the screen. if i put finger there i can use it but if i exit out of this little rectangle the cursor goes out of the screen. So it works, i mean, it receives commands, but they are mapped wrong. To face this in hardy i used the patch attached and it was recognized using the stylus/cursor xorg.conf lines (so no need for touchscreen lines). I hope this patch can be added upstream to solve this issue. ** Affects: wacom-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- xserver-xorg-input-wacom does not recognize touchscreen coordinates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
