Gmaxwell: Yes; there should be an eraser section here; current version of xsetwacom uses numbers.

=== Wacom Serial Tablet PC Stylus ===
This is a stylus made for tablet PCs by Wacom.
=== Features ===
* Chipset: Wacom
* Serial: irq 5 port 0x0200
</div>
|}

==Linux Support==
The pen is supported by the XFree/Xorg Wacom driver. New tablets also have the [[MultiTouch]] capability. [[MultiTouch]] is experimentally supported presently by the Linux wacom project. The pen works regardless of [[MultiTouch]] support.

The pen uses serial and appears on some {{path|/dev/ttySnn}} device where <tt>nn</tt> is a number. An easy way to find it is to map {{path|/dev/ttyS0}} to the pen's port and irq. The values can be found under the windows driver properties. Using values from an {{X41T}} 1869-5CU, the command is: {{cmdroot|setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x0200 irq 5 autoconfig}} (you need to run this after every suspend/resume cycle).

This may be inserted into startup scripts in {{path|/etc/rc.d/}}

The X config file needs to be changed to use the stylus. Add the following sections to your xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
EndSection

Add the following lines to the ServerLayout section:

InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"

Check the wacom driver man page and [http://linuxwacom.sf.net/ website] for other options.

For handwriting recognition using pen you can use [[CellWriter]].

To get the right mouse button to map to the stylus button use this script and run it through .bashrc

#!/bin/bash
xsetwacom set stylus Button1 1
xsetwacom set stylus Button2 3
xsetwacom set stylus Button3 3

==xrandr Rotation==

linuxwacom is very buggy. I needed some time to get the tablet work with "xrandr -r". I use the script below to do screen rotation. copy the source an put it in /usr/local/bin/xrotate. You may change output and devices to fit to you're system (the default values work fine for my x41 tablet)

you can use "xrotate +" to rotate the screen CCW or "xrotate -" to rotate clockwise. use "xrotate x" where x is
* 0 to set rotation to normal
* 1 to set rotation to left
* 2 to set rotation to inverted
* 3 to set rotation to right

#!/bin/sh

output=LVDS
if [ "$XROT_OUTPUT" ]
then
output=$XROT_OUTPUT;
fi
devices="stylus cursor"

geomnbr=0
xrandr=normal
wacom=normal
if [ "$1" == "-" ] || [ "$1" == "+" ] || ! [ "$1" ];
then
operator="$1";
[ "$1" ] || operator='+';
case `xrandr --verbose | grep "^$output " | sed "s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* [^ ]* ([^(]*) $[a-z]*$.*/\1/"` in
normal) geom=0;;
left) geom=1;;
inverted) geom=2;;
right) geom=3;;
esac
let geom=${geom}${operator}1+4
let geom=${geom}%4
else
geom="$1"
fi

case $geom in
1) wacom=2; xrandr=left ;;
2) wacom=3; xrandr=inverted ;;
3) wacom=1; xrandr=right ;;
*) wacom=0; xrandr=normal ;;
esac

echo "xrandr to $xrandr, xsetwacom to $wacom" >&2

if xrandr --output "$output" --rotate "$xrandr"; then
for d in $devices
do
xsetwacom set "stylus" Rotate "$wacom"
done
fi

#workaround for linuxwacom bug
if [ "`xsetwacom get stylus Mode`" == '1' ]; then
for d in $devices
do
xsetwacom set stylus CoreEvent "off"
xsetwacom set stylus Mode "off"
done
{ sleep 1;

==Troubleshooting==

If the stylus still doesn't work try to reset the bios. This fixed it for me. --[[User:Gtx|Gtx]] 08:22, 21 April 2008 (CEST)

Gmaxwell: /* Display problems on T60 w/ WSXGA+ and 945GM */

Is it possible to connect a beamer (or external monitor) to the notebook, while the notebook is running, and then switch the output from the internal TFT to the external beamer or monitor using FN-F7 or by other means?

----

Any information about whether this chip supports DRI/hardware-accelerated GLX with free drivers or not?

Cheers :)

you need to install i810 driver from xorg7 version 1.5 or above. glxgears shows something around 600FPS. currently you can get from xorg cvs version 1.6 and get 1000FPS.

cheers

== Now on systems with 945GM it seems ==

The wiki used to say that intel graphics were only available w/ 1024x768 thinkpads.. Well I just purchased a T60 widescreen with the WSXGA+ (1680x1024) driven by a 945GM.

[[Image:banding_test.png|right|thumb|30px|Test image (tile this)]]
[[Image:failed_t60w_banding_test.jpg|thumb|right|This is what a failed banding test looks like. There should not be vertical bars of differing color.]]
It is working under FC6 with desktop effects and all, although while the image looks great at a first glance.. it's clearly a 16 bit image even though xorg thinks it's 24bit mode. Also there is a faint horizontal banding in fully saturated mid brightness colors, giving a textured look to areas of solid color. Now I need to find out if this is an xorg issue that can be resolved or a hardware issue and that I should send my T60 back. :( Does anyone here run windows on their T60 with intel video and this display? can you confirm if you see this texture behavior? --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 23:58, 5 February 2007 (CET)
