[14:17] yawn [15:09] tjaalton: did you see my new patch? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfree86-driver-synaptics/+bug/320632/comments/53 [15:10] Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/320632/+text) [15:16] tseliot: nope, I'll add it later [15:17] tjaalton: ok, thanks [19:51] hi guys [19:52] i have a tablet PC and it's broken on jaunty alpha 2 [19:52] 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] the tablet is a serial interface [19:53] 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] any help with that would be wonderful [19:54] 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] but no love from X [20:59] desrt: afaik, hal can't work properly [21:20] * desrt raises eyebrow [21:20] pwnguin: what's the issue? [21:59] desrt: it's a serial device, so it can't be detected automatically [22:29] well, most serial wacom are internal [22:29] one could probably ID the laptop [22:32] tjaalton: it is autodetected, though [22:32] hal knows that this serial device is a wacom tablet [22:32] what i was referring to is the apparent limitation that you get one device for a tablet instead of three [22:33] well, it really is only one device.... [22:33] not if you want GIMP to tell between an erasor and stylus [22:34] that's sort of X's issue, though [22:34] unless you want hal to plug and play auto-detect the eraser tip as it comes in range [22:39] were you intending to use the tablet without X?
