HOW TO Setup Fujitsu tablet PC bezel buttons

[purple_goat]

Did this ever work? I'm also getting "x11 initialisation failed"

that said I know nothing. Not even how to debug, which brings me to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fjbt.../topic/4022196
I wanted to see if the error was in the same place but I don't know to debug. How do I debug? Could this help?

I recently got the bezel buttons to work. It turns out everything is ok in the driver; the issue is that the X symbols linked to the buttons have no attached actions.
The fix is to reassign the actions associated with the buttons. One way would be to use xmodmap:

xmodmap -e "keycode 186 = Next"

As an example, the above code will assign page-down action to the A key.
The numerical value after keycode can be found in xev. The symbol after = should be for the action that needs to be performed (look in the keymap , "xmodmap -pke")
This can also be used to execute scripts/binaries. Eg: assign XF86Launch5 to the rotate button and then assign the keyboard shortcut XF86Launch5 to run the desired script ( in the display manager's keyboard settings like Application Shortcuts under xfce).
Hope this helps.

Someone sent me something similar for the Fujitsu T902 I got a couple of month ago. The bezel buttons on the T902 differ, the printed symbols are from left to right:
Windows Button/Volume down/Volume up/Screen Rotation/A/B

Only the Windows Button/A/B seem to be recognized. Create a hidden text file in the home folder an name it ".Xmodmap". Put the following content in it:

! for the panel keys (not all supported

! Windows button
keycode 161 = F20
! Button A
! keycode 186 = XF86ScrollDown
keycode 186 = F24
! Button B
! keycode 185 = XF86ScrollUp
keycode 185 = F25

Then just like nema.arpit mentioned you can assign actions to this. E.g. I assigned "Unity Grab Handles" to the Windows button.

Hi Cobuntu
I have good news!!
I was able to modify the fujitsu-tablet.c to get all three buttons working.
DISCLAIMER : You do this at your own risk, I'm not responsible if something bad happens.

Edit the fujitsu-tablet.c in /usr/src/fujitsu-tablet-20120404-gerlach folder

sudo nano /usr/src/fujitsu-tablet-20120404-gerlach/fujitsu-tablet.c

Change the following :

static unsigned short keymap_Lifebook_Tseries[KEYMAP_LEN] __initconst = {
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_SCROLLDOWN,
    KEY_SCROLLUP,
    KEY_DIRECTION,
    KEY_LEFTCTRL,
    KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP,
    KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN,
    KEY_BRIGHTNESS_ZERO,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_LEFTALT
};

to

static unsigned short keymap_Lifebook_Tseries[KEYMAP_LEN] __initconst = {
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_VOLUMEDOWN,
    KEY_VOLUMEUP,
    KEY_DIRECTION,
    KEY_SCROLLDOWN,
    KEY_SCROLLUP,
    KEY_DIRECTION,
    KEY_LEFTCTRL,
    KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP,
    KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN,
    KEY_BRIGHTNESS_ZERO,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_RESERVED,
    KEY_LEFTALT
};

then do a dkms remove; dkms build and dkms install again as per the fujitsu-tablet_README. And modprobe fujitsu-tablet

sudo rmmod fujitsu_tablet
sudo dkms remove -m fujitsu-tablet -v 20120404-gerlach --all
sudo dkms build -m fujitsu-tablet -v 20120404-gerlach
sudo dkms install -m fujitsu-tablet -v 20120404-gerlach
sudo modprobe fujitsu-tablet

The three keys should now show up in showkey -s or xev

Cheers!!

Hi!
I got a Lifebook T730 with Ubuntu 13.04 running. Now i try to get the buttons working, but im stuck while i try to install fjbtndrv. Terminal says:

Well, i'm more or less unexperienced with Ubuntu/Linux so any help would be nice

It seems that you do not have the kernel headers

make: *** /lib/modules/3.8.0-24-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

Change the kernel version to your own (3.8.0-24-generic)

Can you try compiling the fujitsu-tablet.ko from the Magick-Rotation tarball instead of from the fjbtndrv? I have not installed the fjbtndrv version.
Magick Rotation can be found here : https://launchpad.net/magick-rotation.
Follow the instructions from fujitsu-tablet_README.txt in the folder magick-rotation-1.6.2/MagickExtras/

[zottelmann]

Sorry for the late reply. It seems that magic rotation is not compatible with ubuntu 13.04.. I'm considering switching back to 12.10.

[nema.arpit]

You don't need to install magic rotation, just the fujitsu-tablet from the Magic Extras. I am reasonably sure that should install. It worked on my Debian Unstable install..
