After my last weeks tries, the tablet developed an acute case of mouse freeze. I was not able to use the Ubuntu side at all during the weekend, because without a proper keyboard I couldn't type anything with the on-screen one -- the mouse pointer always froze after less than a minute's use.
I did google a lot, though, and even found one Ubuntu bug that sounded similar to my symptoms. No direct solutions, though. Something about evdev version specific problems.
Today I tried again to replace the original hid_egalax module with a multitouch one, i.e. repeated the following steps:
- Insert USB keyboard, Ctrl-Alt-F1 to virtual console
- Add "blacklist hid_egalax" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf
- sudo rmmod hid_egalax usbhid
- Disconnect keyboard and connect it again
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:utouch-team/utouch
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:utouch-team/unstable
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install hid-multitouch-dkms
- Unplug keyboard, reboot.
The result: not good. I was able to log on, but in a few seconds after that the whole system froze. I tried to plug in the USB keyboard but Ctrl-Alt-F1 didn't work. Rebooted by holding down the power button and checked /val/log/Xorg.0.log.old, found lots of lines like
[ 73.104] (EE) eGalax Inc. USB TouchController: Tried to post event for non-e
xistent touch 0
[ 73.110] (EE) eGalax Inc. USB TouchController: Tried to post event for non-e
xistent touch 0
So, it really is flaky. I guess I'll keep on googling.
