Annoying head parking
Does anybody else get an annoying, repetitive disk-head parking noise? I've already had to scrap one bad hard drive, I'm hoping this one isn't defective as well.
- Chris
Wacom Suspend Fix
Awesome call by Trithemius with the acpi/resume.d wacom fix... I just fixed the command's little typo and added the chmod.
- Chris
Suspend Fix Change in xorg
The info for getting the pen to work was great. I have a 1869CSU model too but for some reason when I used "/dev/wacom" the stylus would never work after suspending it (even with the fix). I found the solution was to change all the "/dev/wacom"'s in my xorg to "/dev/ttyS0".
NetBoot Installation Move
I moved the NetBoot portion of the documentation, as it's part of isntallation instructions. The pre-installation notes were intended for README-like things, not so much actual procedure.
Screen Rotation
I followed your guide to create the screen rotation scripts/events, and after acpi force-reload and restart it works just fine. But when I reboot the machine, I have to reload and restart acpi again, otherwise it won't work.

rotate script
for me in order to get it working i have to modify
x41tsdown.sh
#!/bin/sh XUSER=`who | grep ' :0' | cut -d ' ' -f 1` if test -n "$XUSER"; then su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -o right" su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "stylus" Rotate CW" su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "cursor" Rotate CW" su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "eraser" Rotate CW" su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xvkbd&" sleep 2 fi
x41tsup.sh
#!/bin/sh su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -omright" XUSER=`who | grep ' :0' | cut -d ' ' -f 1` if test -n "$XUSER"; then su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -o normal" su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "stylus" Rotate NONE" su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "cursor" Rotate NONE" su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "eraser" Rotate NONE" sleep 2 fi killall xvkbd

Rotate Button
Following the suggestion in the openSUSE 10.2 X41 Guide, and combining that script with xbindkeys (using xbindkeys-config), I was able to get on-demand screen and stylus rotation for the tablet access button. The aforementioned script needs to be changed so that all references to "Mouse[5]" refer to "stylus". However, when the screen is inverted (xrandr -o 1, I believe), the stylus axis seems to be totally reversed/reflected (I'm not very spatially inclined) while the other three orientations worked fine: I suspect this can be fixed by modifying the rotation value from CCW to...what? Are these rotations relative to each other? And what other values could I put there other than CW, NONE, CCW, and HALF?

I have been trying to have the "rotate" button work under Ubunty Gutsy when I came across this thread. The problem I am having with the abovementioned scipt is that (at least under Gutsy) xrandr gives the same output no matter what the screen rotation is at a particular moment. And without a proper answer to a query, it is not possible to manage screen rotation. Does anybody know how to solve this? Has xrandr been superseded by some other command, maybe?
