Tablet PC
Does Linux Mint work on a tablet pc with all the tablet functions like pen input, touch screen, and rotating screen? I have a Toshiba portege m700 for engineering that I'd like to put Elyssa on.

Re: Tablet PC
I'm not sure at all if this would work
There is a post about how to use a wacom bamboo tablet in the how to section
http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopi ... 42&t=13950
so at least the pen thing works (if I understand it right)

Re: Tablet PC
It works great on my Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook T4215 and on my Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9200, to name but a few!
Actually it works on all my FSC tablets, but that would sound like boasting and I refrain myself from that...

So I guess the screen flips around fine and the different inputs work well (pen and touch screen)?Zwopper wrote:It works great on my Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook T4215 and on my Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9200, to name but a few!

On some of them i had to install the "fujitsu-button" module.
You probably need to install wacom-tools and maybe xrandrandr xsetwacom if your screen doesn't flip when you tell it to.
If it doesn't work automagically you can take a script like the one below) and bind it to a key (band-aid solution).
Store it somewhere and make sure it's executable. (It's an ugly way of doing it, but it usually works).
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
#Screen rotation with xrandr and xsetwacom
CURR_STATE=`xrandr | grep LVDS | cut -d " " -f4 | cut -c2`
echo "Current state is: " $CURR_STATE
if [ $CURR_STATE = "n" ]; then
echo "true"
xrandr -o right
xsetwacom set stylus Rotate CW
xsetwacom set eraser Rotate CW
xsetwacom set cursor Rotate CW
else
echo "false"
xrandr -o normal
xsetwacom set stylus Rotate none
xsetwacom set eraser Rotate none
xsetwacom set cursor Rotate none
fi
