Thinkpad x2xx - tablet support

orschiro · 2012-01-20 08:57:26

Hello,

I'm planning to buy a second hand x2xx and I'm highly interested in the tablet version.

Can anyone say something about the compatibility with linux and the default Arch kernel in particular?

Regards,

Robert

Well, I bought a X200t but by default the tablet touch function does not work.

What do I have to do to enable it?

What I did so far was installing xf86-input-wacom and creating the following /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier      "Default Layout"
InputDevice    "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice    "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice    "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "stylus"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
    Option         "Type" "stylus"
    Option         "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
    Option         "Button2" "3"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "eraser"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
    Option         "Type" "eraser"
    Option         "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
    Option         "Button2" "3"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "cursor"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
    Option         "Type" "cursor"
    Option         "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
EndSection

xsetwacom --list devices does not show any devices.

Regards
