Description Björn Sonnenschein 2011-10-05 10:55:21 UTC
Description of problem:
In Fedora neither the T1005p´s touchscreen, nor its touchpad work.


How reproducible:
Install Fedora on the mentioned Device.

  
Actual results:
The Touchscreen works as a touchpad without the ability to send clicks so that you are only able to move the cursor, the touchpad itself doesn´t work at all.

Expected results:
Using the T1005 with Fedora should be a tasty experience ;)

Additional info:
There´s a workaround similiar to the problems in Ubuntu: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GigabyteT1005

But in Fedora with Grub 2 you have to paste 'i8042.noloop=1' into /boot/grub2/grub.cfg at the end of the lines starting with 'linux' to get the touchpad to work.

For the touchscreen the command to get the evdev source is youmdownloader --source xorg-x11-drv-evdev

For calibration use http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator.

But the solution is still far from being perfect as it gives me an ugly touchscreen behaviour. The touchscreen i very unprecise. Seems to have invisible horizontal "gravity points" pushing the cursor away on some places

Comment 7 Björn Sonnenschein 2011-12-20 22:35:56 UTC
There´s some news on the Ubuntu side:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GigabyteT1005

Multitouch is working with HID now. If the Patch will be included in the next Fedora Kernel, the T1005 touchscreen should work out of the box.

Comment 8 Björn Sonnenschein 2012-03-06 10:55:36 UTC
Just for the sake of completeness, as it is already described here: 
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42620

Meanwhile the HID patches are integrated into the Kernel, but the touchscreen still doesn't work.

Comment 9 Peter Hutterer 2012-03-27 04:09:53 UTC
can you give me an updated xorg.log please?

Also, please record the device with utouch-evemu and attach the descriptions here.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 17:01:17 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 16:48:44 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

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 Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 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 Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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 Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 13:54:56 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
