Tablet Support for Fujitsu Lifebook T900 Tablet
Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2010 6:02 pm
Hey all,
First off, allow me to say thanks for such a fantastic distribution. Up until last night I was using Mint 9 and was absolutely loving it, decided to come to LMDE to slowly get acclimated to a more "hands on" distribution that didn't have the insanity of Arch or Slackware, particularly since I need this machine for school. Installed all my updates last night and overall things work pretty well, I'll probably still be tweaking for a little while but I'm definitely liking things such as wireless being configured by default.
Well, one thing I suspected LMDE wouldn't have that regular Mint would was the tablet support. I use it to take notes in class for Physics, so I'd much prefer to get things running again- I forgot to test it when I had the Live media booted, sadly. As the thread title suggests, it's a Fujitsu Lifebook T900, wireless worked flawlessly out of the box on Mint 9, where I used Xournal for my notetaking. It just doesn't respond at all under LMDE... yet. I'm guessing I'd need some form of kernel module or the like, which sounds like a lot of fun, actually.
I realize that you guys probably need some form of debug or technical info before getting a solution- apologies in advance for not posting any, but I'm simply not sure where to look on a Linux machine for that sort of thing, yet. Thanks again for a truly amazing distro!
