[15:09] <tseliot> tjaalton: did you see my new patch? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfree86-driver-synaptics/+bug/320632/comments/53
[15:16] <tjaalton> tseliot: nope, I'll add it later
[15:17] <tseliot> tjaalton: ok, thanks
[19:51] <desrt> hi guys
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <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
[19:54] <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
[20:59] <pwnguin> desrt: afaik, hal can't work properly
[21:20]  * desrt raises eyebrow
[21:20] <desrt> pwnguin: what's the issue?
[21:59] <tjaalton> desrt: it's a serial device, so it can't be detected automatically
[22:29] <pwnguin> well, most serial wacom are internal
[22:29] <pwnguin> one could probably ID the laptop
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <desrt> well, it really is only one device....
[22:33] <pwnguin> not if you want GIMP to tell between an erasor and stylus
[22:34] <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
[22:39] <pwnguin> were you intending to use the tablet without X?
