[SOLVED] Fujitsu Lifebook P1510d Touchscreen stopped working in Hardy

Hi, I am new to ubuntu and have been struggling with getting the touchscreen to work with the instructions listed on this thread. I guess I will explain the steps I am doing, to see if someone can tell what I am doing wrong.
I start with a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04.
I install the package listed in comment 44.
I follow the instructions in comments in comment 37.
It seems like the X11::GUITest isn't installing correctly for me. Perhaps I am missing a step that a more seasoned ubuntu user would catch.
It is my understanding that I do not need the old driver, just sam engstrom's script.
Thanks,
Brian

Okay, after reading many posts in various places, I got the touchscreen and screen swivel to work including touch re-calibrating on portrait/landscape screen switch.

Kudos to Albrechts for providing the patched debs.

Enjoy!

You can find the Conan packages build here:

They work fine for me (you still need to follow the instructions from Conan site here:

And make sure that your mouse is not the core pointer but instead the touch is...

Sorry to bump this thread, but is there any way to get the touch screen working in ubuntu 11.10? I have the same fujitsu lifebook p1015d tablet and google doesn't have anything for it either. Since it uses gnome 3, there isn't an xorg.conf file anywhere. I could use some help, if there even is a way.

I just don't want to use windows on this thing. I love the experience Linux offers.

I have long since got rid of mine... have you considered downgrading the version of Gnome?

I would much prefer to stick to the latest. I don't want to use the 8.04 area of gnome on 11.10. I guess I'll stick to winXP on this tablet until a fix is made some day, or I acquire a newer one once the disk drive no longer works. Also have a question, would it work using a large compact flash card in place of the hard disk? Cause it would make for a shock-proof solution, but I don't know how long it would last in terms of write/erase cycles.

Has any one had any luck getting the touchscreen to work on the new version (ubuntu 12)?

noor212, i didn't get. I've tryed all the ways, but none of them earned. Sorry.
p1620 work out of the box.

Hi noor212 and iCognac,

If fujitouch has been deprecated have you tried placing the touchscreen on evdev and see if you can get it working on evdev? Or was fujitouch a serial driver not a usb one? I've forgotten.
