| petafile | So I have a tablet and there's buttons on the side for stuff like rotate/open journal/stuff, xev doesn't detect the events but the buttons light up when I touch them. Any ideas on how to get them to be recognized | 00:41 |
|---|---|---|
| persia | Try installing input-utils, and seeing if you can use them to determine what events should be sent. | 00:45 |
| persia | You my find that the events provided are not seen by the kernel (needs patches), or more commonly, you may find that the events simply aren't progressing to X. | 00:45 |
| persia | In the latter case, you can either fiddle with xorg.conf, or better, with .fdi files to get HAL to tell X to recognise them. | 00:46 |
| petafile | what tool of input utils should I be using? | 01:13 |
| persia | I generally start with lsinput, just to make sure I understand which devices are which. | 01:19 |
| persia | I then tend to use input-kbd to try to get a map from each (this is incomplete for a variety of reasons essentially related to poor mapping between "keyboard" and HID) | 01:19 |
| persia | Once I have a good idea what I'm seeking, I'll use input-events to find the keycodes for the specific key that won't work. | 01:20 |
| persia | Note that some devices send "button" presses or ACPI events, rather than keypresses. For buttonpresses, you can check with jstest from the "joystick" package. | 01:21 |
| persia | I'm fuzzy on how to determine which ACPI events are being passed. | 01:21 |
| mcgrof | persia: thanks, installed intrepid though on this eeepc, upgrading to jaunty now, but I still see no packages when I apt-cache search for ubuntu-netbook | 02:19 |
| mcgrof | maybe I need to update my sources.list with some entries | 02:19 |
| persia | Shouldn't need do so. You've main and universe enabled? | 02:20 |
| persia | Try apt-get update. `apt-cache search ubuntu-netbook` should return something. The metapackage name is "ubuntu-netbook-remix" | 02:21 |
| mcgrof | yeah I have both main and universe, but searching for ubuntu-netbook yields nothing | 02:22 |
| persia | Even after running apt-get update? | 02:22 |
| persia | You're using jaunty? | 02:22 |
| mcgrof | yeah | 02:23 |
| mcgrof | deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty main | 02:23 |
| persia | Very odd. Which arch? | 02:23 |
| mcgrof | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-updates main restricted universe multiverse | 02:23 |
| persia | Oh, yeah. You've only universe enabled in updated. Add the other components to the first line. | 02:23 |
| mcgrof | i386 | 02:26 |
| mcgrof | 66 | 02:26 |
| mcgrof | persia: i debootstrapped using i386 but uname -m is 686 | 02:28 |
| persia | That's fine. add "restricted universe multiverse" to your first line above. | 02:28 |
