How to Rotate the Screen for a TX2000 Tablet PC

[Midnight_Sun]

Cool!

Open to everything!

Let's give it a go!

(Basically I now quite few about xorg, but will try to learn...)

Hi Midnight_Sun,

Great! First test in a few minutes.

[Midnight_Sun]

ok.

Till then: kezbindings work to a custom key of my choice, it's nice!

The official rotate key is dead for xev, but that's what You were talkin about...

I add some Compiy efects and will see what happens with rotation.

Hi Midnight_Sun,

Basically have the test xorg.conf done. But I want to back off and read the stuff I did with xorg.conf on the TX2z thread. Make sure I'm not missing anything. So I'll post it tomorrow.

Meantime have fun.

[Midnight_Sun]

ok.

I'll wait.

Besides: in portray mode the stylus is miscalibreted some 10 millimeters, but i'll review the thread since it has been some solution for that.

cheers!

Hi Midnight_Sun,

Good deal. I'll see you later.

Say just to make sure I'm remembering correctly the TX2z doesn't have an eraser does it? I checked it out in a store and I didn't see one on the display unit. The eraser is a eraser-shaped button on the top of the stylus that retracts into the barrel of the stylus when depressed.

Also do you need help with backup and editing commands for xorg.conf or do you have that handled?

[Midnight_Sun]

You remember well. TX2z has no eraser.
Backup and editing is no problem.

I will have some hectic dazs, but await Your ideas, and test them as quickly as possible...

Hi Midnight_Sun,

I appreciate you helping lock down an xorg.conf for the TX2z.

So we are on the same page you are using the patched linuxwacom 0.8.1-4 amd-64.deb that Rene Mayrhofer provides?

Although it might look like I made a lot of changes I actually haven't. I added the header and rearranged things. I deleted the eraser stuff. I indented the lines I'm sure of. There shouldn't be much risk of X breakage with this. But be sure to back up your current xorg.conf and be prepared to restore it.

Now onto the changes:
1) In Intrepid HAL with the Synaptic .fdi file should be able to handle your trackpad so I commented it out. Let's find out for sure.
2) The stylus section is usually considered the more important one so I made it first and put the coordinates in it. Let's see if that works.
3) None of these seems to contribute anything so I commented them out:

#Option "DebugLevel" "8"
#Option "Button1" "1"
#Option "Button10" "1"

You're not debugging, Button1 1 should be default, and I don't know what Button10 1 is.

Give it a shot. Good luck!

Hi!

Test went quite ok. X still alive.
Touchpad is working nicely, but the stylus is miscalibrated some 15cm-s (!) top lett direction in all views. (moving direction is ok, movement is consequent, but the pointer is far from the stylus.) Rotation still ok with keybinding.

Ideas?
