Hello, I've one of these new 2in1s that's more of a tablet than a laptop, but has an amd64 instead of an arm CPU. I've installed Debian /w Gnome and have had a difficult time with the current support and lack of support for input devices. On boot this device has a touchscreen and 5 buttons(if you count sleep and power as two) Currently grub is useless, meaning the install requires boot media that default boots to what you want booted. I worked around this by hexediting the grub config files on the iso. The current devices not-working items: 1. Touchscreen does not survive suspend/resume in X11. 2. Touchscreen does not work for X11 apps running in wayland. After setting up Bluetooth dock, must be done in X11 on first suspend/resume session. 3. 2nd button is impossible to access. The touch pad has a clicker underneath that's used for 3rd button and click-drag. There is a center line on the bottom marking these two zones. Things currently working flawlessly. 1. The docks keyboard. Future device needs and items that need addressing for finishing the drivers. 3-axis gyroscope /w 3-axis accelerometer, the inv-mpu6050 driver exposes these to sysfs and AFAICT each component works. magnetometer, not sure how many axis but 3-axis exists. GPS device (two axis location?) 1. From what I can tell no current input device 'wraps around' That is to say that max and min are one step from each-other and there needs to be a way to indicate what direction the movement happened in. 2. Physical Displacement. I'm not sure if the gyroscope is centered on the screen and even if it is there is still a displacement off the z axis that might effect the x and y measurements. 3. 6 axis device, with a 3 axis precedent. Not needed for this project but display to device mappings, for example a dual monitor touchscreen setup. There are also controller-like devices, smartphones, that have motion sensors and are thus not associated with a display. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
