Fighting my Dell Latitude XT (ATI X1200 probs)
Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 5:53 am
I recently bought a Dell Latitude XT and am now trying to get LMDE running at its best. Amazingly, the ntrig touchscreen worked right out of the box, but there are still some things I couldn't solve.
Corrupted letters in Cinnamon/OpenGL:
The X1200 IGP works ok for most parts, but some Letters are rendered in dotted lines:
This effect can also be found in e.g. the Server Browser of Teeworlds.What I already did is updating to the latest xorg-radeon from debian unstable ->no change and setting the sometimes proposed EXAPixmaps="off" Option in xconf->a whole lot more screen corruption. Any hints what to try next would be really cool.
Touchinput not rotating with the image:
If I turn the screen orientation, the touchinput will still use the coordinates of "landscape" mode. I am now using this which works for one rotation:

One turn to the right works fine, but when I turn the screen back to landscape, the height coordinates are chopped down to half of the screens hight. To logout and login resets them to normal. Maybe someone can propose a script which does the input reset without a logout?
No vertical scrolling on touchpad:
It seems to be a known issue that the touchpad is only recognized as a mouse and therefore scrolling doesn't work. I can live with that, but a hint how to solve that would be nice none the less.
