  TC1100 Screen Rotation
Rotation of Screen and Stylus on the TC1100 TabletPC in Linux (KDE)
The screen does not rotate in Linux on the TC1100 (three users confirmed). The three "pen" buttons to the left of the screen do not register x events.

I have managed to rotate the screen by software by adding a line to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and using command line interfaces, but the screen size/resolution does not automatically adjust itself.

The pen buttons do not register as xf86 events. It appears that there are some modded drivers to fix this, but I have not evaluated them yet. Then they would need to be scripted.

It might help me if I could see the contents of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf from one of the TC4200 tablets that have this feature working. Would anyone be willing to post theirs? (for those who are not linux users, you can get this by opening a command line and typing "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf". Then just copy and paste it here.

As a passing note, the four buttons on top of the screen (in landscape mode) generate xf86 events but are not mapped yet.

 TC1100 Stylus
Right Click Option
Through some basic digging through Ubuntu forums I have found a way to make the right click button work using the stylus in Linux.

To do this I added the following lines to my /ect/X11/xorg.conf file. Under this section in the file I added two options to the inputdevice.

Option "Button1" "1"
Option "Button2" "3"

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Button1" "1"
Option "Button2" "3"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

I just added those lines of code to the file, saved, and restarted the system and I now have right click capabilities on the stylus.

 Confirmed
I would just like to confirm this. It works on the 4200's. Thanks eweisger!

This should/will be included in the Fall 2008 image.
