How to Rotate the Screen for a TX2000 Tablet PC

[Midnight_Sun]

Dear All,

I'm quite new to Ubuntu, but I was brave, and bought a TX2z, and try to run Ubuntu on it. First test was Jaunty - for the sake of ext4 - but with that kernel the activation of wacom was impossible.
Now I'm back to Intrepid 8.10.
With the help of
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...12#post6546012
I was able to activate stylus. (many THX!)
FGLRX up and running, Compiz effects turned off. Use Mayerhoffer patched package and a the xorg.conf of Favux. (as far as I remember.)

All is fine in normal mode, stylus is ok and calibrated, button works.

Tried the rotation script, and there came the problem.
If I rotate the screen, the stylus gets crazy, as far as I can tell in portraz mode top right movement becomes something like bottom left or bottom right direction, so it's a pain.

Tried to change CV to CCV in the script, no joy.
Tried to edit xorg.conf to add topx topy bottomx bottomy to stylus, but the only effect was that the default state became also worse.

I'm getting lost in messing around, and I don't want to destroy the the results - even they were hard to get for me...

Please, if You can, give me some direction!

THX!

Hi Midnight_Sun,

Did you do the "aticonfig" command from appendix 1 on the HOW TO up front?

[cak3]

The way it worked for me was with hp-wmi.c in the same directory as the makefile. For me it was /home/*username*/hp-wmi that I did my work in.

The .fdi file should go in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty or something along those lines. The /usr/share/hal i'm positive about.

By the way, I should be able to devote some more time to this now that I've graduated from SMU. (WooHoo!)

Lat.

Thanks. Got the module, but its still in not working (x event viewer sees nothing). Is there a specific name I have to give the .fdi? ALso, how would I go about using input-utils to figure out the correct device or whatever.

Thanks.

[Midnight_Sun]

Yes I did.

Besides I've tried out Method 3 with the Tom Jaeger deb installed. Still no joy...

Hi Midnight_Sun,

Try commenting out:

#Section "Module"
#Load "glx"
#Load "dri"
#EndSection

And see if it behaves on a reboot. I hope you don't need "dri". Otherwise what does:

xsetwacom list

and

xinput --list

look like.

[Midnight_Sun]

thx, givin a try.

xsetwacom is not yet installed. Gee! Missed something?

[Midnight_Sun]

Commented out. No change.

Try to install wacomtools.

[Midnight_Sun]

Oh My! What an as* I am!

Installed wacomtools and works like a charm!

Thanks a lot Favux! Life saver!

Hi Midnight_Sun,

Excellent! Nice work.

Say would you be interested in optimizing your xorg.conf? So far no TX2z user has stuck with it more than one test or so. I think we may be able to improve it some.
