Linux on a Fujitsu U810, P1620, T1010 - Touchscreen IX

Following the request from several users, and a little bit late, I have adapted the driver to work on systems with kernel-compiled usbhid module.


The problem was that, in certain cases (fedora and other distributions) the usbhid module is compiled in the kernel, not compiled as a module. In these cases, the prior script that performs the correct binding of the device to the fujitsu_usb_touchscreen module was not working. Also, the previous script, even it was working, was not very polite and was not following correct computer initialization procedures.

You can find the new driver here.

An anonymous user has sent a comment where s/he tells me that the fujistu_usb_touchscreen driver is also working for the Fujitsu B8260!

Thanks for the comment; I'll update the docs!

Linux on a Fujitsu U810, P1620, T1010 - Touchscreen VIII

Following a request from a user, I have adapted the driver to work on a Fujitsu T1010.

The problem was that, for an unknown reason, when running the calibration script, inside the driver code -1 was considered bigger than 94. I think that behavior must be because of some integer sign issues either because the new kernel, either because who knows; the truth is that this comparison works fine in my system, but doesn't on the T1010.

So, if you find that the calibration script doesn't work properly, then update to this newer version and try again.

Thanks to draco, for reporting the driver works on a T1010, for reporting the bug and letting me remote connect to his computer to debug the driver.
