N-trig’s DuoSense dual-mode digitizer uses both pen and zero-pressure capacitive touch in a single device. The Dell Latitude XT2, HP tx2 tablets and the Lenovo T410s feature such multitouch support. Note, however, that a Linux firmware updater has not been released by N-trig for these devices. Before installing Ubuntu on your machine, be sure that you have the latest firmware. This may require using the Windows .exe firmware updater from the OEM. Note that the HP updater often requires 2 to 4 successive reboots of Windows in order to properly update. * [[Multitouch/NtrigFirmwareStatus|N-trig firmware status in Linux]] |
