For 8.04 LTS:
 * Installed using "wubi" from Windows Vista.
 * Install paused for several minutes on "Scanning the mirror..." but was otherwise smooth.
 * External monitor detected but could not uncheck the "clone displays" box.
 * Hibernation did not shut machine off. I think the wubi installer mentioned that this doesn't work w/ wubi.
 * A bit tricky to get sound recording to work: open sound recorder, choose File > Open Volume Control, choose Edit > Preferences, check the Capture box, toggle audio recording on on Recording tab, and then use Options tab to choose source (internal / external mic). Then tell the recorder to record from input Capture.
 * Can rotate screen from System > Preferences > Screen Resolution if hardware acceleration turned off (add {{{Option "DRI" "false"}}} to the Device in the xorg.conf file), but so far no luck rotating the input (ie. cursor moves left/right instead of up/down).

Current Issues

Hardy Heron (8.04 LTS)

  • The stylus does not work out of the box. To get it working:

    • Use Track Point knob to open Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

  • Add the following text somewhere at the start: 

    Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "stylus"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "stylus"
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"
        Option          "Button2"       "3"             # Right click
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "eraser"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "eraser"
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"
        Option          "Button3"       "2"             # Eraser
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "cursor"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/wacom"
        Option          "Type"          "cursor"
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"
EndSection

  • Add these three devices to the "ServerLayout" section as follows: 

    Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"
        InputDevice     "stylus"        "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice     "cursor"        "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice     "eraser"        "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice     "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection

Gutsy Gibbon

  • EASY FIX: screen rotation works but pen tracking does not follow
  • EASY FIX: screen almost black on resume from suspend
    • Switch to a console (Ctrl-Alt-6) and then back again (Ctrl-Alt-7) to re-enable backlight
  • EASY FIX: Enable tablet functions - uncomment tablet lines as indicated in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  • EASY FIX: enable pen button - modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf as follows:

    • add the following line to to Section InputDevice - Driver wacam - Identifier stylus as follows:

      • Option "Button2" "3"

    • add the following line to Section InputDevice - Driver wacam - Identifier eraser

      • Option "Button3" "2"
