I have installed debian following (mostly - I hacked the Compaq recovery CD
to install XP into free-space instead of the whole drive, then
re-partitioned and ran it...) the instructions on
http://linux-tablet-pc.dhs.org <http://linux-tablet-pc.dhs.org> and have
had good luck. I'm having trouble with the pen driver for X. I have
installed the xserver-xfree86 debian package and I'm using the XF86config-4
file from the site listed above.
X works fine in all other respects, but I get the following entry in my X
log file on startup:
(EE) No Input driver matching `tc1k'
The driver is in the correct place:
# find / -name tc1k_drv.o
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/tc1k_drv.o
Here's the releveant part of the XF86config-4 file:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "TC1000 pen"
Driver "tc1k"
Option "AlwaysCore" "on"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"

EndSection

Would I be better of with another X server? Is there a problem using this
driver with my X Server? Output from X -version is given below:
TabletLinux:~/tc1k-1.0# X -version
X: unable to open wrapper config file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

HMMMM.... I hadn't noticed that "Xwrapper.config" error before. Could that
be something???
With the fpi2002 driver loaded, I do get output on /dev/ttyS0 when the
screen is tapped with the pen - I guess that means the digitizer is talking
to the serial port correctly??? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
