Description Ezequiel Partida 2012-12-18 22:37:44 CET
Description of problem:

I have an HP TouchSmarth 300 that has Touchscreen with windows 7 but I want to make it work with mangeia.

As far as this page below shows, it can be handled by nwfermi. Mandriva does have a package as well as rosa, but the mandriva driver does not compile at boot... I get dkms failed, bad exit status 10.

http://www.fusionnetwork.us/index.php/articles/linux-tutorials/hp-touchsmart-300-touchscreen-linux-nextwindow-working/

I would love to have this on mageia since I prefer mageia over mandriva.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Nothing on this yet since mageia 1?.

Unfortunately the mandriva package doesn't work with mageia.

Please help, I have not been able to install mageia on my HP Touchsmart 300 and use my touchscreen.

This is the mandriva package I found but I get a script error.

Please Help, My 6 year old would love to have it with touchscreen activated.

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Sorry, bugs@ml and pkg-bugs@ml members, for the avalanche.

72 bugs with the "New RPM package request" component, had a severity of "normal" or more, which can lead to losing precious time when searching Bugzilla for bugs that urgently need to get fixed

Now mass-changing that to "enhancement", as it should be for package requests.

https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly#How_to_file_a_package_request

@ the reporter of this package request

Please check in http://madb.mageia.org/ whether this software did already get packaged, and close this bug report if it did.
Please do also close it if you find a package with the same purpose, that meets your needs.

Severity: normal => enhancement

Hello

Checking on this request.. I found an rpm driver that worked great. https://launchpad.net/nwfermi

But that PC broke down 6 months ago.. Too bad.

I will close this request..

Thank You.
