Notes

You can enable the tablet like so:

Step 1. Editing Xorg.conf

From the terminal, enter the following, followed by your password (if necessary)

# sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Tablet"
Driver "fpit"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
Option "InvertY"
Option "MaximumXPosition" "12550"
Option "MaximumYPosition" "7650"
Option "MinimumXPosition" "400"
Option "MinimumYPosition" "400"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

You also need to add

InputDevice "Tablet" 

to the serverlayout section of your xorg.conf

Step 2. Configure serial interface with the tablet Install setserial (search in Synaptics Package Manager

You'll need this in your /etc/setserial.conf:

/dev/ttyS0 port 0x03F8 irq 4 baud_base 38400

Step 3. Install modified version of fpit driver

Download http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=18739&d=1162482698 and http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=18740&d=1162482698

Unzip and place in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input

Step 4. Get your left-click working

In the Sessions applet (Click System, Preferences, Sessions) create two new items that run these commands:

xsetpointer TOUCHSCREEN xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2"

Step 5. Switch your video driver from i810 to intel

Use Synaptic Package Manager (System, Administration, Synaptic Package Manager) to install the xserver-xorg-video-intel package.

Step 6. Enabling rotation

I haven't found any information on how to do this yet.

Step 7. Enabling the monitor panel buttons

I can't even figure out how to poll these buttons
