Hey all,
I'm hoping someone can help me get my ridiculously complex setup working. I'd consider myself a windows power user, but are relatively new to linux (6 months or so). I have a desktop setup with 10.04, and now I'm trying to get a more portable copy of linux running.
I have a USB Drive with Kubuntu 10.04 installed on it. It's not a live disk made from an image, I performed the install operation onto the drive (There were some issues with updates and a TTY login error on exit). I use this install for when I want to use linux with my work computer, and for when I want it on my Tablet.
The tablet is the one that is giving me problems. I have a Gigabyte T1000p, and the Touchscreen/Touchpad setup isn't really working. The tablet digitizer is from Ideacom, and I'm fairly certain that it isn't on the list of supported hardware.
The problem I'm having is the Touchpad doesn't work, and the Touchscreen DOES work, just as a touch pad. Meaning, when I drag my finger across the screen, the pointer moves. So I'm looking for solutions on how to do 2 things:
A. Is there a way I can get the Touchpad working?
B. Is there a way I can get the Touchscreen working like a normal Touchscreen?
I work as a programmer, so I'm not too afraid of getting my hands dirty, fiddling about with drivers and what have you, I just don't really know where to start, and am looking for a point in the right direction. Any help you can provide would be great.
