> Hardy does not detect my ThinkPad X61T as a tablet and does not enable the > WACOM > tablet / display by default.
I recently installed Hardy on my Thinkpad X41 tablet, and also experienced the issue of a non-working stylus. I noticed that /dev/input/wacom was actually there and configured correctly after the install, but (as reported above) none of the necessary configuration for using it with X was present in xorg.conf. Luckily, I'd backed up my xorg.conf from a previous install so I didn't have to dig very far to discover what the problem was. For tablet PC users (there will probably be more of us soon, as most educators I demonstrate tablet technology to really like it), this seems like a bug in the Ubuntu installer. Shouldn't there be some logic to say that if a tablet is detected at install time, then the user will most definitely want the default xorg.conf to contain the relevant bits enabling the tablet? Or perhaps an ubuntu-tablet package, which installs wacom-tools (needed for rotation), a rotation applet or script, cellwriter, and xournal? As a bonus, it could configure gdm and gnome-screensaver with an on-screen keyboard so tablet users could log in and use the screen-lock feature without having to unfold the tablet. -- Want auto-configuration or gui configuration of Wacom tablets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
