Hello all,
Reviving this thread because I think I found the "perfect" Linux/TDE 2 in 1.
I don't like touchpads and the Surface Pro 2's was driving me mad, so I
searched for a 2 in 1 with a track point or similar, and found the Toshiba
z20t (it does have a touchpad too, if you like).
The model I got (for £300 on ebay) is the Z20t-B-113. As far as I can say
everything works out of the box: Touchscreen, stylus, keyboard (except the FN
special keys), touchpad (which I deactivated), track point, suspend and
hibernate (from tde powersave menu).
The machine uses an Atmel touchscreen (that can be controled with xrandr) and
a Wacom pen digitizer (which can be controled with xsetwacom).
I have not tried again to set up palm rejection, I find better to switch off
the touchscreen when I need to write, so I wrote a tcl/tk applet to do this
with xinput.
To my surprise xinput-calibration works in portrait mode on this machine (it
does not on my thinkpad). Pen precision is not always perfect but globaly I
can live with it.
There remain two small problems I'm working on:
- I get error messages about loading the iwlwifi modules (although wifi is
working)
- when I rotate the screen (xrandr on "Atmel, ID 10) and the pen digitizer
(xsetwacom on Wacom ISDv4 12C Pen stylus, ID 11) the touchpad/point stick
pointer does not rotate (would be AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Touchpad / STick
with IDs 14 and 15).
xinput lets me disable/enable but not rotate
xrandr works only on the screens
xsetwacom only works on Wacom devices
Any idea how I could rotate the pointing device? Not so important because the
stylus works but...
The keyboard is OK, the Tablet is light and nice, the digitizer is good, TDE
works great and the machine has a second battery in the keyboard, so after
setting up everything since last evening I still have 47% (given as more than
10 hours) of energy (under lInux).
Have a nice day,
Thierry

This is from my RPi with touchscreen, it rotates the input device with a transformation
matrix, so might be useful to you:
# Touchscreen Rotation am RPi:
# 90 Grad:
#xinput --set-prop 'FT5406 memory based driver' 'Coordinate Transformation
Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
# 180 Grad:
xinput --set-prop 'FT5406 memory based driver' 'Coordinate Transformation
Matrix' -1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1
