Re: Feisty Fawn not working

Hi,

I know, this answer is quite late. I haven't been actively following
this list for a while.

can you check, whether /dev/ttyS0 works? Just enter some shell-command
like:

  sudo hexdump /dev/ttyS0

and see whether moving the pen around outputs data (but first shutdown
Xorg: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop)

The driver is quite old. Might be that the binary cannot work on modern
Xorg.

can you verify in /var/log/Xorg.0.log that tc1k_drv.so was able to
successfully load?

If not, there is a similar driver (don't remember the name) contained in
Xorg, that works, just the buttons won't be right. Some source hacking
might be required.

As soon as this is working, I'm going to upgrade to my TC1000 to Ubuntu,
too :) BTW what installation method did you use? I remember that
network boot was quite awful to configure.

cheers,
