1. Hotkeys work out of the box.
2. Touchscreen works out of the box but a little off. (I'll get to that)
3. Slightly faster boot time.
4. Video works with no mucking around.
5. Touchpad very live-able on the highest setting.
One thing we get is a test disk for Touchscreens.
(Very clear instructions there) Stick the Live CD or USB in the questionable unit and the Touchscreen should be usable. No TS and it's broken or not there.Download and burn the .iso file from the Ubuntu page to either CD or USB.
If using the USB route(my choice for the higher marks 3-5) move the slider to make a larger persistent file. I overloaded the first one at it's lowest setting and had to format and re-burn the USB.
There is a cute little program called xinput_calibrator. I grabbed the one from this page: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwar ... calibrator. Loaded it using the Ubuntu Software Center and it showed up under System Administration Calibrate Touchscreen. Ran the program (touch four x's) and that was it. The Touchscreen was calibrated and worked fine, no re-boots no nothing.
However on re-boot I had to re-calibrate. I read the fine print and noticed it was giving me four numbers to install in a file in xorg.conf. No file existed. This page answered my questions. http://askubuntu.com/questions/4662/whe ... re-x-there. Did this and TS worked fine after re-boot
So there you have it. I downloaded last night and have spent about two hours reading the information and testing it on CF29 Mark 3,4 and 5. Of course it's early days yet and glitches may appear but so far I like it a lot.
Touchpad re-visited:
code:
Code: Select all
Sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf
options psmouse resolution=400 # this will speed up the touch-pad significantly
Update 1.[save]
To add the results of your Calibrate Touchscreen to the persistent file on the USB:
Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This is so the changes will be saved on the USB from session to session if you are just working off of the stick.Run Calibrate Touchscreen and cut and paste the results to the above. Ctrl O to save.
THIS IS A SAMPLE FROM CALIBRATE TOUCHSCREEN
I found at least one short-cut but this is pretty straight forward so let's leave it for now. It's a little long-winded but I wanted it all on one page.Calibration results from my Mark 3.
