Hi,

Tried to compile Fujitsu Stylistic Tablet PC input driver for the Xorg called xf86-input-fpit-1.3.0, but autogen.sh failed with:

./configure: line 19707: syntax error near unexpected token `RANDR,'
./configure: line 19707: `XORG_DRIVER_CHECK_EXT(RANDR, randrproto)'

Can anyone help?
What could be the problem?

See attached.
Regards, Robert

You probably don't have the Xorg 7.3 sources installed.

But there's no need to compile the fpit Xorg input module.
It's already included within the full Xorg dotpet package -

Hi Tempestuous,

Thank you very much for your helpful answer.
By the time you've answered I compiled the fpit.
You were right I needed the xorg source.

So Fujitsu Stylistic c500 works fine with fpit and Puppy 431.
I'm happy now:))

Thanks again,
Robert

Hi,

Puppy is excellent!
Fujitsu Stylistic c500 touchscreen works fine with fpit and Puppy 431.

1. First intsall Puppy with xorg.
2. Copy attached rc.local file to /etc/rc.d/
3. Copy attached xorg.conf file to /etc/X11/
4. Copy attached fpit_drv.so file to /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/input/
5. shutdown and restart (save changes if Puppy not installed)

Additionally you should install xvkbd the virtual keyboard for xorg see my next comment.

Enjoy Puppy

Hi,

Puppy 431 has working xvkbd package.

1.) Install the following 3 attached pet file.
2.) open a console and type xvkbd.
3.) To autostart xvkbd after boot, open a console and type:
ln -s /usr/X11R7/bin/xvkbd /root/Startup/xvkbd

Thats it.
Regards,
Robert

Hi All

Is anyone still using a C-500 with puppy linux? I just tried lupu-528.005 and the fpit driver was compiled against X11 V4 and it uses V7! I then tried slackp-5.3.3.3-4g and it doesn't have the driver included.

I am using an old version of ubuntu currently that works fine but can't get the latest version to work so I'm looking at any alternative to get current.

TIA
