Doesn't work in 12.04 Precise Pangolin except for mouse0. Mouse1, or the touchpad, does not work.

It seems some of the Accessibility technologies are "hard wired" to the default mouse. A...

I'm trying to set up a kiosk on Ubuntu 12.04

The problem is that when using the touchscreen, the mouse always behaves as if you are dragging instead of just moving it. The touchscreen can't...

Ubuntu 12.04

The touchscreen does not completely function. The regular mouse moves the cursor fine. On some level Ubuntu sees the touchscreen, and I can view a character rendition of the...

marked thread as solved. Posted in wrong forum.

It is also working /dev/input/mouse1

mouse0 is the regular mouse.

The touchscreen "works", sending info via cat. But it is as if X does not know that there is a touchscreen.

Moving a finger across the screen is showing characters when monitoring with cat.

First how it doesn't work:
I excpected the command
sudo cat /dev/ttyS4
to cause random characters to...

Should I be posting in a different forum?

I had no luck with a VIA driver and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise. The PC wouldn't give me a screen if I rebooted, couldn't tell in keyboard was working. Eventually gave up and reinstalled 12.04. So...

Did you have any luck?

Thanks for letting us know about the other thread.

Yes. Didn't mean to imply otherwise. Just thought it might have a bearing on the hardware working.

It used to suspend in win xp without a problem. It is an IBM 4838-720 AMD Turion X2 VIA chipset

Some more info, I set the screen to turn off after 1 minute in "Brightness and Lock" and the screen goes blank as expected, but the system recovers fine if the mouse is moved.

OK, the swap partition. Yeah, it's more than the RAM. It's 4G which is = to the RAM, but the graphics card take 256K as set in the bios.

I never set a swap file size, so it's whatever is the default. Wouldn't Ubuntu set one big enough? I'll poke around and see if I can find where it is set.

12.04 runs fine. I can shutdown. Power up, or do a Restart. However, all forms of hibernate and suspend don't work. Both if I invoke it manually from the power button menu, or if it powers off on...

ihatemud,
Did you get it working? I'm also trying but also a newbie to Linux, especially doing anything beyond a simple install. I found this manual:
