ubuntu 10.10 on HP tx1000

The latest Ubuntu release already comes with multitouch support.

@Johannes I am looking into this, I'll get an answer for you shortly.

Hi Johannes, it took me sometime to enable the touchscreen for regular use on my tx1220 laptop. I assume you have the same touchscreen as mine, identified by lsusb:
0eef:0001 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen

Right now multitouch support is really driven by the community so the end result will depend on who provides input / testing on this particular device. I will be at UDS next week with mine so I should be able to get some progress on it. Meanwhile if you have new information please submit it here.

The first two tests I did with this device failed, namely:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Testing/CheckingMTDevice ("error: could not grab the device", as sudo)
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Testing/UsingGesturetest (no output)

Let me know if you have the same results

Hey Chase, here's another hardware one. Can you follow up where Fabian left off?

I'm pretty sure the tx1000 is a 2-touch wacom device...

I think there was a bug in the eGalax driver that prevented it from working properly. I would try it again with an up to date 10.10 kernel, or natty if the reporter is feeling up to it.
