This is why I've asked you to contact Ping Cheng and/or Peter Hutterer to address this issue upstream. (In reply to comment #8)

<quote> This information wasn't really helpful to me: 'Then, configure your xorg.conf file with a "stylus" and a "touch" InputDevice sections ...' </quote>

I've added a copy of my working xorg.conf to the How-To. It's certainly not the minimalist's one.

Thanks.

About the fdi files, some peoples reported in Ubuntu's forums that changes have to be done in xorg.conf and not in .fdi files to works. It may be a consequence of the way used by (some versions or all ?) linuxwacom to read its configuration ?

I believe Ping and Petter can help you here. We definitely would like to get rid of xorg.conf if possible - also for Tablet PCs. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have written to the author of the patch, to ask him if somebody else than him should post the patch on linuxwacom development website (sourceforge), but he hasnt't still answered to that question. I saw in linuxwacom forums on sourceforge that this little patch was discussed between him and Ping Cheng (see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4A03EE63.3010403%40seas.upenn.edu&forum_name=linuxwacom-discuss ).

I suggest to send Ping a reminder. Could be that he simply forgot about the patch.

About fdi files, I confess that I can't figure out how to configure everything, including ATI or NVidia cards and n-trig fingers-and-stylus touchscreens,

As mentioned before, Ping and Peter should be able to help you here.

I've read the page about usability. What I say is that a non-working tablet on a TabletPC is an issue at the same level that non-working keyboard/mouse on classical computers. A blocking human interface issue should be considered as far more critical on a tabletPC than on a server on which that is not an usability issue.

I would agree, if TabletPcs would be, i.e could be the main focus of openSUSE. How many TabletPcs work out-of-the-box with openSUSE. One? Two? Maybe three? Why is it that critcial to support exactly one more of thousands TabletPCs available? It doesn't help most of the TabletPC users.

I also don't know what to do now to help to get touchscreens works "out-of-the-box" with 11.2. If the 2 packages done by Stefan (thanks !) are not included in the 11.2 release, what should we do ? Open a new bug report for 11.2 ?

We only fix critical and security bugs for a released product. :-(

Enhance SDB to help newbies to find and install required packages from OBS repos ? Something else ?
