Hello, I've been trying to get my tablet PC to work with Ubuntu (Hardy) for more than a week now, and I'm getting very frustrated getting the touch screen / stylus to work at all.
I've searched all over the place and seen several success stories all with different methods, but none seem to work for me (a lot are old and pre-Hardy). I'm still a little new to Linux so I'm just getting the hang of everything, but I'm pretty positive I've been doing what the tutorials say.
My current xorg.conf file is:
And of course I've tried adding in the various versions of the cursor, stylus and eraser sections, likeCode:# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder3) Thu Feb 14 18:20:37 PST 2008

My machine is an HP Pavillion tx2110us (fairly new), and I read somewhere that the newer tablet PCs route their touch screens through USB now instead of serial (I've tried both methods). I'm still not sure if that means I'm supposed to leave the "Tablet PC ONLY" sections there or not, in addition to the USB ones.Code:Section “InputDevice”
Driver “wacom”
Identifier “stylus”
Option “Device” “/dev/ttyS0″ #SERIAL ONLY
Option “Device” “/dev/input/wacom” #USB ONLY
Option “Type” “stylus”
Option “USB” “on” #USB ONLY
Option “ForceDevice” “ISDV4″ #Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
Section “InputDevice”
Driver “wacom”
Identifier “eraser”
Option “Device” “/dev/ttyS0″ #SERIAL ONLY
Option “Device” “/dev/input/wacom” #USB ONLY
Option “Type” “eraser”
Option “USB” “on” #USB ONLY
Option “ForceDevice” “ISDV4″ #Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection
Section “InputDevice”
Driver “wacom”
Identifier “cursor”
Option “Device” “/dev/ttyS0″ #SERIAL ONLY
Option “Device” “/dev/input/wacom” #USB ONLY
Option “Type” “cursor”
Option “Mode” “relative”
Option “USB” “on” #USB ONLY

EndSection
Any help is really appreciated, I'm frustrated that I can't get this to work and I'm afraid it's something stupid I'm missing.
Thanks!
