Getting USB TabletPCs supported (f.ex. Asus R1F)

Rate this Message:
Hi list!
I recently got an Asus R1F and am now facing the problem that the Wacom device built into this notebook is currently not supported on Linux. I read over nearly all available sources of information (mailing list archives, etc.) and by now the only information I got is that "it is currently not on the todo list" plus some ideas how we could get it work. As some of the postings are quite old (~8 months or more), I just wanted to ask if there's been any progress on this by now? I'm definetly willing to offer some time, efforts, whatever to get this working. I'd call myself an averagely skilled C developer with some experiences in driver and kernel development and would like to help with getting this device supported. Maybe we could some up all ideas so far (I found some threads talking about changing some IDs, etc. in the current source code) in this thread to share our current knowledge about this device and the wacom driver support for it. >From what I've tried by now, I'm not getting any events from the touchpanel by querying the /dev/input/event* devices so I'm almost at the beginning of getting the bits together. Thanks in advance for any insights, pointers, ideas... ciao, -- | .-. | Alexander Griesser -- <private@...> | .''`. | | /v\ \ http://www.tuxx-home.at/ / : :' : | | /( )\ | GPG-KeyID: 0xA2949B5A | `. `' | | ^^ ^^ `-------------------------------------------------' `- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I suspect that my laptop and your laptop use the same model of
touchscreen. I changed the device IDs in the current source code to allow for my model, and the result was that it recognized the screen, but the event device (which showed up!) gave nothing but garbage to wacdump. I suspect that this means some more coding will need to be done.

I'd actually dare to say very little.. It all probably comes down to access to hardware, to some extent documentation, to some extent skill in reverse engineering the protocol used, and of course time to put time into this. > > I'm definetly willing to offer some time, efforts, whatever to get this > > working.

The following feature request contains some information (just so we have a connection from this thread to it): https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1593330&group_id=69596&atid=525127 > > From what I've tried by now, I'm not getting any events from the > > touchpanel by querying the /dev/input/event* devices so I'm almost at > > the beginning of getting the bits together. > > > > Thanks in advance for any insights, pointers, ideas... Personally I'm investing my time into the hotplugger client program, but it would be nice to see these TabletPCs become supported as well (less to blacklist for me). As I lack pretty much everything to work with these, I'm afraid I can more or less only help out to review code... When you start producing patches on the driver, I think it probably will be worth putting these into our git-repo [1] at once. Maybe not into master right away, but at least into a separate branch. This way this work can be made more visible, without actually affecting the normal driver development.

Ok, I'm now at a wall. I added a chunk to the top of

What you probably need to do is get the tablet to talk, if doing this is different from the other USB-tablets then it will be more difficult. However, it's worth checking if the normal USB-code that exist in the driver works. Once the tablet is talking, you can just print out the USB packages in hex and start to map which bits are changing when you move the stylus, press the tip, use different tools, buttons, what happens when your stylus go out-of-prox, etc. Currently the longest message from the tablets are 10 bytes, so it's a very limited amount af bits to map. This step should also provide you with the max values of the reported axis so you can fill in the feature-struct. When you have a map of how the bits seems to change, you should see if there's any of the current decoders that fit that pattern. If there isn't you'll have to write a new one that does the tablet->Kernel input record conversion...
