if it's like my x61 tablet, it's a serial wacom tablet and it's just on a non-standard irq and address so you have to tell the kernel where to probe for pccom0. 'config -e' your kernel, 'change pccom0', set the irq to 5 and port to 0x200. and it should attach pccom0. you'll need the "linux" wacom driver for xorg compiled without usb stuff: http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ > - Buttons near display (are actual in the tablet mode) do not work > either. Windows says they're connected in parallel to pen device. they were working fine for me on my x61. they generate keycodes you can see by running xev. i made them send normal keys with xmodmap: ! little button that can only be pressed with the tip of the pen !keycode 198 = ! screen rotation key !keycode 204 = ! whatever that button is to the right of rotate !keycode 199 = keycode 203 = Escape ! d-pad arrows and center keycode 209 = Up keycode 206 = Left keycode 205 = Right keycode 207 = Down keycode 200 = Return i eventually setup something to respond to keycode 204 and call a script that ran 'xrandr' to rotate the display. > - FireWire and finger scanner are not supported and do not work either. > BTW, does anyone have any docs for the last one (see dmesg for more > info)? finger scanner is working, it's your ugen0 device. fprint works just fine with it: http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page i have more info on the x61 tablet at http://lowerca.se/laptops/
