Thread: Fujitsu P1510D Touchscreen in Karmic and Lucid

i purchased used fujitsu p1510d , installed ubuntu on it. following instructions found in thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811200 (particularly #37 , #44). able screen rotation buttons working adding following repositories.

terminal enter

code:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

next, add software repositories fjbtndrv package.
save , close.

code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/khnz/ppa/ubuntu karmic main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/khnz/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

then in terminal enter following. adds key.

code:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys e88d7b6f

code:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install fjbtndrv

you might need install wacom-tools well.

while works fine there 1 one problem: touch doesn't follow rotation of screen. have been searching weeks on line trying find solution. ran across blog http://blogs.fsfe.org/alge/?p=111 , guy has created .deb files required activating touchscreen , rotate button in karmic. plus, touch follows rotation when mechanically rotate screen. touch still doesn't follow when using button rotate screen. hey, when flip screen on hinge touch works in 2 orientations rather one. yay! address .deb files http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/p1610/. files modified work p1610 model work great p1510d running karmic.

1 thing have edit enable_touchscreen file though. calibration off if don't.

terminal enter

code:

sudo gedit /usr/bin/enable_touchscreen

change line 16 read:
use constant screen => (1024,600);

save , close.

have tried install files (either .deb or tar) in lucid keep running 1 snag. 1 of files requires xrandr , doesn't seem available in lucid. xrandr has been replaced x11-xserver-utils. there way install xrandr source , remove x11-xserver-utils?

x11-xserver-utils includes xrandr.
