    Hi,

    Xubuntu AMD64 Hardy 8.04LTS on an ST5112.

    Updated since installation:

    Linux aphrodite 2.6.24-25-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 20 06:49:12 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Add setserial, and this in /etc/serial.conf:

        /dev/ttyS0 port 0x0220 irq 4 autoconfigure

    Add wacom-tools, libxi-dev, libxrandr-dev, pkg-config, libxosd-dev, libxtst-dev, libhal-dev, then…

        ./configure, make, sudo make install

    Reboot, see the OSD, the screen rotates, onboard starts (?)

    But the stylus still has the default orientation, and doesn't change on repeated rotations.

    Any thoughts?

    Regards,
    Bret

    Please try to rotate the stylus manually (<tt>xsetwacom set <i><devname> rotate <i><0 or 3></i>). If it works please send me the output of <tt>xinput list</tt>.

    The rotation commands work.  I also have a USB keyboard and mouse active:

    Okay, no type info in our xinput output. That's bad. I'll see what I can do. For now, replace the line starting with "devname" in /usr/local/lib/fjbtndrv/rotate-wacom.sh (line 29) with devname="stylus".

    Hi,

    Fujitsu Stylistic ST5112 running Ubuntu 10.04.
    Just installed yesterday through the PPA.
    Everything works great (thanks so much!) except I have the same problem as the OP.

    The tablet screen starts out in vertical mode, while the digitizer is in horizontal mode. The rotate button rotates the screen but not the stylus.

    For now it's usable, because I prefer to use the tablet in horizontal mode anyway. But I would like the option to use it digitizer vertically at times, and I would certainly like it to rotate normally.

    I tried to do this solution, but I have no folder called /usr/local/lib/fjbtndrv/

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks so much!

    Actually, I found the file in /usr/lib/fjbtndrv!

    Line 29 says:

    if ; then

    However, line 28 says:

    devname="`find_stylus`"

    Is that the part I should change to say devname="`stylus`" ?

    (Update: changing that didn't fix anything)

     
  • Nobody/Anonymous

    Try devname="stylus" instead (without the `). If it doesn't work, call xinput -list and look for the right name of your stylus device.

     
  • Nobody/Anonymous

    Hmm…
    I removed the ` marks but it didn't work.

    So I tried xinput and got this:

    osarusan@sisko:~$ xinput -list
    ⎡ Virtual core pointer                    id=2
    ⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              id=4
    ⎜   ↳ ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse              id=13
    ⎜   ↳ Serial Wacom Tablet eraser              id=14
    ⎜   ↳ Serial Wacom Tablet                     id=15
    ⎜   ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation        id=16
    ⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   id=3
        ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             id=5
        ↳ Power Button                            id=6
        ↳ Fujitsu FUJ02E3                         id=7
        ↳ Video Bus                               id=8

        ↳ fsc tablet buttons                      id=11
        ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            id=12

    But none of those entries worked…

    Hi,

    Please make sure xsetwacom is installed and fscrotd is started. The line should be

    devname="Serial Wacom Tablet"

    Hope it helps.

    The new release contains a new rotate-wacom.sh script (as the only change), please give it a try.

    Thanks so much! I installed the new release and BING! it worked perfectly upon restart. Well done! :-)

    Hi, I have a Fujitsu P1510D with a similar problem. It is a serial tablet and the touchscreen works with a perl script and using the instructions found at post #37 here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=aa838ac18c7e71db7c253d7a89dc8904&t=811200&page=4.
    The rotate buttons work thanks to your driver - but when rotated the stylus does not follow. I am using your most up to date fjbtndrv. Any thoughts on how to get the stylus to rotate with the screen?

     
  • Robert Gerlach

    Robert Gerlach - 2010-09-19

    Hello  and sorry for the delay.

    the executable scripts in <install-prefix>/lib/fjbtndrv and ~/.fjbtndrv are called by the daemons, if the display rotated. With each call, 3 environment variables are set:  CURRENT_ORIENTATION, ORIENTATION and ACTION. The action variable can be rotating (before rotation) and rotated (after). With basic shell scripting skill, it should be easy to write your own script (I can't help, I have no hardware to work on). Take a look into the rotate-wacom.sh script for a start. If you have an working script, please send me for inclusion.

     
  • Robert Gerlach

    Robert Gerlach - 2010-10-10

    While I have read that again, I noticed, I have not answered the question. Sorry.
    The Fujitsu P-Series do not use the Wacom driver (as far as I know), but my rotate script depends on it. You need a modified rotate script. I have no P-Series device, so I cannot do that.

    For some reason I am getting the following errors when using the MAKE command on my ST5022 running fedora 14.
    I'm sure I did something wrong!

    Please install the kernel headers. It should be in the package kernel-devel.
