    HP Elite 8300 touchscreen help

    Hi,
    I've been googling, but I haven't found a solution for getting the touchscreen to work. The threads I found are close but it seems 12.10 won't use the drivers.

    The closest solution is:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1898634&page=5

    But the respository is now 404 and the driver won't install, I get this error:

    Code:
    (Reading database ... 143651 files and directories currently installed.)
    Unpacking nwfermi (from nwfermi-0.6.5.0_i386.deb) ...
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nwfermi:
     nwfermi depends on make.
     nwfermi depends on sed (>> 3.0).
     nwfermi depends on dkms.
     nwfermi depends on linux-libc-dev.
     nwfermi depends on libc6-dev.
     nwfermi depends on xf86-input-nextwindow.
    
    dpkg: error processing nwfermi (--install):
     dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
    ureadahead will be reprofiled on next reboot
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     nwfermi
    I've tried to install the dependencies, but they don't install because they are the latest versions. It looks like maybe Ubuntu 11.x may have worked.

    I'm looking for anyone who may have gotten the "multitouch" to work on this system. The screen is a "NextWindow", Intel graphics card.

    Some info:

    Other than the touch screen not working, everything else works normally.

    No one has one of these systems or has used the nwfermi driver?

    We just got a bunch of 8300's and had trouble finding the driver deb (the nwfermi ppa repo is still down).

    Use the newest one from here:

    https://launchpad.net/nwfermi/+download

    Otherwise the instructions you linked seem to work, thanks a million!

    What? Wait! You got the driver installed? Could you elaborate? I've tried the "newest driver" with the same results. What version of ubuntu? What changes did you do different from the install above?

    Thanks,
