Linux on a Fujitsu U810, P1620, T1010 - Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick

Last week I upgraded to latest Ubuntu, Maverick 10.10.

Everything seems fine; Ireally suggest anyone of you with a u810 to upgraded asap.

- external monitor: works great

- suspend/resume: works great

- touchscreen: uhm ... the touch driver failed working. As pointed by nerd65536 and mifa (thanks for the fast fix), just with a small modification everything is working again.


So please find here the latest version of the driver !!

Also, following the suggestions from nerd65536, this version fixes the driver problem on suspend/restart, and README instructions are improved.

  1. This is great! I did have some issues installing under gentoo, but it seems to be running now and calibration works like a charm.

    However, there is one thing that has me stumped right now: fujitsu_touchscreen_rotate.py promptly dies ...

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./fujitsu_touchscreen_rotate.py", line 103, in
    sessbus = dbus.SessionBus()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 219, in __new__
    mainloop=mainloop)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 108, in __new__
    bus = BusConnection.__new__(subclass, bus_type, mainloop=mainloop)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 125, in __new__
    bus = cls._new_for_bus(address_or_type, mainloop=mainloop)
    dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

    Any ideas?

  2. OK, never mind, I needed to run dbus-launch. Now all is well! Many thanks for this great driver.

  5. Good day to all folks. I don't like pasting code on blogs, but it's interesting this "fix" that it mention but no luck on applying it correctly.

  6. I can't compile under a 2.6.36 kernel, and this uses HAL, which is now deprecated and newer xorg (>1.7) has moved to udev. Is there a new version of this in the works? Pretty please!

    ReplyDelete
  7. i have a p1630 with a clean new 10.10 installation. i seem to have the same error as the post above?

    i downloaded the newest version and it compiled ok but 'make install' returns errors because files are not found.
    what did i wrong? which files should i have installed before?

    thanks for your help!

  8. When I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.10 on my P1620, I lost touchscreen functionality and had to reinstall drivers as you described. Fortunately my wubi installation crashed and I had to start from scratch (well, I was too tired to work out what the problem was!)

    After installing a clean copy of 10.10, touchscreen worked out of the box! The touchscreen was misaligned but that was easily fixed by installing and running xinput_calibrator.

    After all the painful installation processes, finally something easy for a change!!

  11. I'm getting the same compile errors on my p1620. My touchscreen seems to work, but buttons on rotation don't seem to work. The screen needs to be calibrated also as I can't get to the edges of the screen. Pressing the screen away from the edges works fine.

    This is on a clean install of Natty 64 bit btw. Just finished installing a few minutes ago and was googling for info on what to do about the touchscreen and came across this site.

  12. I'm getting the same errors compiling on a Fujitsu P1620 with Ubuntu 11.04 Natty (64 bit alternate install). Are these drivers still being maintained? It appears they're incompatible with the kernel (Linux 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

    I got a drive for the button, and can rotate my screen. The built in Ubuntu calibration app is clunky, but seems to work, although you can only calibrate for one orientation. I have calibrated for the portrait orientation. Also the calibration doesn't seem to be very accurate with Ubuntu's calibration. Is this driver/app any better?

    If anyone has any suggestions feel free to email me. steven dot b dot hoff at g m a i l dot c o m

  13. For Unbuntu 11.04:

    You will need 0.3.9 at
    https://bitbucket.org/cybergene/fujitsu-usb-touchscreen

    ReplyDelete
  14. If you use >11.04 and have error on input_dev, you need to download new module src 0.3.9 here:
    https://bitbucket.org/cybergene/fujitsu-usb-touchscreen

    It works!
