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
