HP Touchsmart tx-1340 n-trig driver woes (Win 7 Firmware)

**ian_hawdon** · January 2nd, 2010

(I am using Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic)

Hi, I've followed pretty much every guide under the sun on trying to get this screen to work, but still I end up with a console log in that flashes black about 6 times before entering low graphics mode!

Anyone out there can see where I've gone wrong in the config files?:

xorg.conf:

Code:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:

Code:

When I try and run "startx", I get the message:

Code:

1b96 is not supported by linuxwacom.

I'm stumped!

Hi ian_hawdon,

You have several issues.

You should only use the xorg.conf or the .fdi, not both. Probably the xorg.conf unless Ayuthia tells you different.

The error:

1b96 is not supported by linuxwacom.

means you have not applied the n-trig.patch to the linuxwacom drivers. This alters the table of Product ID's in wcmUSB.c so it supports the N-trig digitizer. You have to fool it, N-trig isn't Wacom after all. See b) in "1) Jaunty: The kernel patches" in the N-trig HOW TO. Notice there's a link to a patched a pre-compiled linuxwacom if you want that.

Right now things don't work well with the Win7 firmware. It dramatically changes how the N-trig digitizer reports the data. Several folks including Ayuthia are looking at this. Ayuthia has made some preliminary hid-ntrig.ko's to address this. Same HOW TO and near the end of the thread.

**ian_hawdon** · January 2nd, 2010

so I remove the 10-wacomlinux.fdi file all together?

There was a custom hid-ntrig.ko file I put into the /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/ folder.

I was also under the impression that the patches were in the latest linuxwacom source code, but then again, I might have misread that somewhere!

**Favux** · January 2nd, 2010

so I remove the 10-wacomlinux.fdi file all together?

Either that, or comment out the contents. Make a back up if you remove it of course.

There was a custom hid-ntrig.ko file I put into the /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/ folder.

OK, a Win7 firmware version from Ayuthia?

I was also under the impression that the patches were in the latest linuxwacom source code, but then again, I might have misread that somewhere!

There was a report about that but when Ayuthia looked into it, it apparently hadn't happened (yet?).

**ian_hawdon** · January 2nd, 2010

Ok, I repatched the stable 0.9.4-4 version of linuxwacom and it works fine now. I remember the patch isn't compatible with the 0.9.5-x versions, so I presumed that the patch had made it into that release.

Thanks for your help

I'm just trying to figure out where to start with all of this on my Lucid / Latitude XT. Any pointers appreciated at the thread I started over at:
