Hello there, I see now I'm not the only one to tackle n-trig problem. I have no idea how far you are with it, but I think I'd share my experience and maybe we can get it together and integrate into the project. I've got this HP touchsmart tx2 laptop, which has the said n-trig thingie. The ubuntu's packaged wacom input driver for x works with stylus out of the box, but one should be careful not to finger the screen while using it, or else cursor will jump into upper-left corner. So I've fired up `git cvsimport` and started to play from there. Here I am attaching the diff which is more of a proof of concept than the ready patch. Not only it's full of dirty hacks, but it's also introduces some unconditional and not conditional enough code that will most certainly break things for wacom tablets. But it makes things work for me - I can use stylus, I can use touchpad to control everything. The missing features are, basically, multitouch and the separation between two input devices (finger and stylus). I would especially love to be able to switch touchpad off while retaining stylus functionality. I'm not _yet_ sure how to go about that, because I've never dealt with styli and touchpads before, neither I'm overly familiar with x input devices, so any feedback would be appreciated. I haven't got too far (but hey, I've just bought the laptop and I have a daytime job too!), but will continue digging in these directions. Any feedback (and help too!) is appreciated. If there are interested parties, I can make my git branch available to public, although right now it doesn't go beyond the patch attached. Love, H |
