View Full Version : Fujitsu P1610 touchscreen broke after upgrade to Lucid

Ever since I upgraded, the touchscreen on my Fujitsu Lifebook P1610 no longer works. On Karmic, it worked out of the box without installing any extra packages.

I see xserver-xorg-input-fpit in Synaptic Package Manager but it conflicts with netbook remix packages for some reason so I haven't tried installing it.

I didn't see anything in dmesg about the touchscreen but there are Xorg errors:

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be recognized as a wacom tablet or what, and I'm also not sure how it used to be configured when it worked in Karmic. Any tips to get this working? Thanks.

Hi nsfx,

That is bizarre. I'm reasonably sure it has a passive touchscreen, not an active Wacom digitizer. So it probably works with the evtouch driver. Check in Synaptics Package Manager if it is installed and if not install it.

I don't think I've seen the wacom driver pick up another device before. It might be due to some changes they made in xf86-input-wacom to let it support Waltop and N-trig tablets.

@Favux: I will try that out tonight and post the results here. Thanks!

After installing evtouch I now don't see anything in dmesg or Xorg.0.log regarding the touchscreen, nor does the touchscreen work, lol.

It seems to me like the xserver-xorg-input-fpit package is really what I need, as it "...provides the driver for Fujitsu Stylistic tablet PCs..." but for some reason it conflicts with netbook remix. Any other ideas?

Thank you!

I still think that's the right driver. Fpit is for the digitizer, not the touch screen I think. Check for a xx-evtouch.conf that the package should have added in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/. Maybe you need to amend the MatchProduct line?

I think evtouch took over for an older Fuji touch driver: http://spareinfo.blogspot.com/2009/05/linux-on-fujitsu-u810-p1620-touchscreen_19.html & http://spareinfo.blogspot.com/2009/05/linux-on-u810-p1620-touchscreen-iv.html

Hi All...

I too have a Fujitsu P1610, and the touchscreen doesn't work. This is a new / clean install of Ubuntu 10.04.

I've tried many drivers / scripts to get this to work (via google and here), but still no luck. Almost seems like there has been a few subtle changes with the newer version of Ubuntu.

Is there anyone who has a step by step 'how to' available with this newer version of Ubuntu with this particular tablet notebook?

Any advice on resolving this issue (xorg.0.log is the same for me as above).

I'm still a bit of a newbie too... :)

Thanks... :)

Check out this thread - posts 37 and 44 should get your touchscreen up and running. Although the thread is for the p1510 series the p1610 has similar hardware. I've used the instructions with Lucid and it works fine.
