    Re: Ubuntu 10.04: Calibrate touch in HP tx2000

    It sounds like the input tools aren't being rotated back to laptop mode. Are they 90 degrees out of phase? If so let's try the simplest thing first. In Setup (right click on Magick green arrow icon chose Setup) make sure the box in front of "BIOS hinge switch values reversed?" isn't checked. If it is checked uncheck it and Save.

    I check the box in front of "BIOS hinge switch values reversed" and it isn't checked. What else can I try?

    With the box unchecked click on Save. Let's make sure that's the setting Magick is using.

    I suppose it is possible your BIOS values are reversed for some reason. You have a TX2000 correct? The check box is for HP Compaq TC4200 & 4400 tablet PCs.

    So if the box unchecked doesn't work try checking it and Saving it and let's see what happens.

    Hi Favaux..

    I did just what you said and the behaviour is inverted. Checking that option makes my computer rotates the screen when it is normal and when I put my computer in tablet mode the screen becomes normal, it's totally the opposite that it's supposed to do.

    Thanks for your help.

    That sounds like what should happen when the box is checked. Is the stylus now in phase or 90 degrees out of phase or what? OK, so when it is out of whack to begin with it's 180 degrees out of phase?

    I suspect you need to reverse cw and ccw in the code. What kernel and X server version do you have?:
    Code:
    Xorg -version
    Do you have the default Lucid wacom.ko and Wacom X driver (xf86-input-wacom). Or did you update either or both? To what version?

    Hi Favaux, I agree with you and I think the calibration is missed by 90 or 180 degrees or something. I just typed the code you gave me and this was the response:

    Now, When I installed the xf86-input-wacom I went to the wacom website and installed this: xf86-input-wacom-0.10.10.tar.bz2

    For X server I looked for it in synaptic and I found this:
    xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed version: 1:0.10.5-0ubuntu4.

    I hope this helps... thanks again...

    Re: Ubuntu 10.04: Calibrate touch in HP tx2000

    I've forgotten if this is due to a bug in xf86-input-wacom-0.10.5, which is the default in Lucid. It's the Wacom X driver and is what the package xserver-xorg-input-wacom contains.

    Let's see if updating xf86-input-wacom fixes it. See part II. in the Bamboo P & T HOW TO to clone the xf86-input-wacom git repository.

    Re: Ubuntu 10.04: Calibrate touch in HP tx2000

    when I paste git clone git://linuxwacom.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom

    I get this:

    Initialized empty Git repository in /home/heiner/xf86-input-wacom/.git/
    linuxwacom.git.sourceforge.net[0: 216.34.181.91]: errno=Connection timed out
    fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

    Do you know what could be the problem?

    The Sourceforge download site might be down temporarily. Try again in a little bit. It looks like you installed git.
