| desrt | hi guys | 19:51 |
| desrt | i have a tablet PC and it's broken on jaunty alpha 2 | 19:52 |
| desrt | i know how to fix it by editing the xorg.conf, but that's obviously not going to be helpful in the longrun | 19:52 |
| desrt | the tablet is a serial interface | 19:52 |
| desrt | i'd like to know how to cook up proper .fdi magic to get the serial interface recognised as belonging to a tablet so that this can be included in ubuntu properly so it works out of the box when jaunty ships | 19:53 |
| desrt | any help with that would be wonderful | 19:53 |
| desrt | hal already seems to recognise it as a tablet: i get a device node in hal for "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer" with serial.device="/dev/ttyS0" | 19:54 |
| desrt | but no love from X | 19:54 |
| pwnguin | desrt: afaik, hal can't work properly | 20:59 |
| * desrt raises eyebrow | 21:20 | |
| desrt | pwnguin: what's the issue? | 21:20 |
| tjaalton | desrt: it's a serial device, so it can't be detected automatically | 21:59 |
| pwnguin | well, most serial wacom are internal | 22:29 |
| pwnguin | one could probably ID the laptop | 22:29 |
| desrt | tjaalton: it is autodetected, though | 22:32 |
| desrt | hal knows that this serial device is a wacom tablet | 22:32 |
| pwnguin | what i was referring to is the apparent limitation that you get one device for a tablet instead of three | 22:32 |
| desrt | well, it really is only one device.... | 22:33 |
| pwnguin | not if you want GIMP to tell between an erasor and stylus | 22:33 |
| desrt | that's sort of X's issue, though | 22:34 |
| desrt | unless you want hal to plug and play auto-detect the eraser tip as it comes in range | 22:34 |
| pwnguin | were you intending to use the tablet without X? | 22:39 |
