Wolfgang There is a retro version of Lucid 525 which uses the same kernel as 431, which you could try, and might be able to upgrade kernel Also see if a kernel upgrade can be applied to 431? Polarpup/Icepup and Lupen also use 2.6.38, Slacko 531 has 2.6.39, and I'm using it now see also http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=66528 Perhaps MU could help with a German version? However I thought Internationalisation was now functional in later puppies? Aitch

Hey, need some help figuring out what driver type to use with a Fujitsu Point 1600. Tried a bunch of the things mentioned in this but no go. Googling this machine doesn't pull up anything for what driver or even connection type it uses (USB, serial, etc.). lspci & lsusb & cat the device input & TTY & events don't seem to show up much. Any commands to definitively try? |

Don't know if this is any use? http://www.retrevo.com/search/v2/jsp/mytrevo/myTrevo.jsp?page=man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT7k32NkGoQ maybe a driver from a different model? http://tuxmobil.org/touch_laptops.html Info's a bit sparse for that one... Aitch

Hello guys. I'm an eager but very basic user of puppy and linux, and at the moment I'm trying to bring a Compaq TC1000 back to life. Puppy (4.3.1) works fine as usual, but the touchscreen doesn't work. I installed the pet from the beginning of this thread, but I can't understand most of what comes after. Could someone please help with some 'idiot-proof' guidelines? Cheers. |

longobedience, at the outset, you need to do some research to learn exactly what type of touchscreen device is in your laptop, and what interface it's connected to (USB, serial, or PS/2). Then the instructions I provided on page 1 will make more sense, because you will know which section is relevant. Fortunately for you, I just did this research for you: your touchscreen device is the Fujitsu Finepoint Stylus, which is connected to an internal serial port. So the relevant instructions for you are - "HOWTO - serial touchscreens" - http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=295651#295651 Work your way through that information carefully. Your kernel module will be "fujitsu_ts" and your Xorg driver will be "fujitsu" (in more recent versions of Linux this is now "fpit"). Your serial address will probably (?) be /dev/ttyS0 And just in case someone with a Compaq TC1100 stumbles upon this information - don't assume your touchscreen is the same! It's not. |
