The Wacom driver does not work for a Thinkpad X220 Tablet PC. Apparently a patch is required, see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119332 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708307 Without this, running Mageia on this Tablet PC reduces its functionality to that of a standard laptop.

Wrong package
Assignee: bugsquad => tmbSource RPM: (none) => kernel
There is now a 2.6.38.8-5.1.mga to test at: http://tmb.mine.nu/Mageia/1/bugs/2811/ http://tmb2.mine.nu/Mageia/1/bugs/2811/
I tested that new kernel and had only partial success. When the package is installed, there is touch feedback, but the pointer goes to fast compared to the finger, so that it ends up at another spot then the finger. A double click on th screen seems to have the effect of a left mouse button. No pen input is possible at all. When I tried to configure the touchscreen in << KDE System Settings / Input Devices / Graphic Tablet >> the x-server crashed and I got back at the login screen. From this moment on, I was not able anymore to login (each time a crash of the x-server before log-in completes). Fortunately with the unpatched kernel I can still log in. I can still log in into the patched kernel as guest, but then also, each time I try to configure the wacom touch screen, the x-server crashes. So it is going into the right direction, but it does not work yet.
You need support in the x11 driver too... I have just submitted: x11-driver-input-wacom-0.10.11-3.1.mga1 to core/updates_testing wich adds support for the tablet with id E6. Please test it out and let me know if it helps.
I installed the x11-driver-input-wacom-0.10.11-3.1.mga1. That did not make any difference. Still not able to log in with my normal user. If I log in as xguest and try to configure the touchscreen, the same thing happens:the x-server crashes and I get back at the loginscreen. Anything I can do to help figure out what goes wrong?
Is there any information I can provide that may help to tackle the problem?
Partial success! I reinstalled Mageia and installed your x11-driver-input-wacom-0.10.11-3.1.mga1 again this time with the latest kernel (2.6.38.8). Now it does work and I am able to configure the touchscreen in << KDE System Settings / Input Devices / Graphic Tablet >>. So that package is good (don't know how my previous install got screwed). However my touchscreen is still not yet really useful: * the input does not rotate with the screen, leading to the pointer going to a point mirrored vs. the center instead of where you point (type of mirroring being dependent on the rotation angle). * stylus input works completely, but touch input does not allow me to select anything (double tap does not do anything), so impossible to scroll a scrollbar for instance. This makes touch input more or less useless, so only stylus input really works. * there is no on screen keyboard appearing when I go in a text field

Thomas (tmb), what about this package in updates_testing, is it still work in progress or must we remove it?

This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
