  • NAME
      fpit - Fujitsu Stylistic input driver
  • SYNOPSIS
      
       "Section qInputDeviceq"
         Identifier \*q idevname q
           Driver \*qfpit\*q     Option \*qDevice\*q   \*q devpath q   ...
      EndSection
  • DESCRIPTION
      fpit is an Xorg input driver for Fujitsu Stylistic Tablet PCs.



      The
      fpit driver functions as a pointer input device, and may be used as the
      X server's core pointer.
  • SUPPORTED HARDWARE
      This driver supports the touchscreen of the Stylistic LT and (with
      special options) of the Stylistic 500, 1000, 1200, 2300, and 3400.
      Modern FinePoint MP800 devices will also work with this driver.

      Under Linux the Fujitsu's serial port is not, by default, detected.
      Therefore the port must be configured manually as described in the
      accompanying readme.txt file.

      For example, add the following to your startup scripts for Stylistic xx00
      devices:

      setserial /dev/ttyS3 autoconfig
      setserial /dev/ttyS3 IRQ 15 baud_base 115200 port 0xfce8



      This driver now supports Stylistic 3400 (and possibly other passive-pen
      systems) with a special "Passive" paramter. Try this serial
      configuration for the 3400:

      setserial /dev/ttyS3 autoconfig
      setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16450 irq 5 port 0xfd68

  • CONFIGURATION DETAILS
      Please refer to xorg.conf(5x) for general configuration
      details and for options that can be used with all input drivers.  This
      section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.



      The device supports the following options:
      Option MaximumXPosition\fP \fInumber
      Sets the maximum X position, use this to calibrate your touchscreen's
      right hand edge.
      Option MinimumXPosition\fP \fInumber
      Sets the minimum X position, use this to calibrate your touchscreen's
      left hand edge.
      Option MaximumYPosition\fP \fInumber
      Option MinimumYPosition\fP \fInumber
      Same as for X axis, but for Y axis.
      Option InvertX
      Option InvertY
      Invert the specified axis.
      Option SwapXY
      Swap the X and Y axis (after inversions).
      Option Rotate\fP \fICW
      Option Rotate\fP \fICWW Manipulate the invert and swap options to match screen
      rotations. (Will behave strangely if combined with invert or swap options.)
      New users should consider the "TrackRandR" option instead.
      Option DeviceName\fP \fIname
      Option DeviceName\fP \fIname sets the name of the X device.
      Option AlwaysCore\fP \fIon
      enables the sharing of the core pointer. When this feature is enabled, the
      device will take control of the core pointer (and thus will emit core events)
      and at the same time will be able, when asked so, to report extended events.
      You can use the last available integer feedback to control this feature. When
      the value of the feedback is zero, the feature is disabled. The feature is
      enabled for any other value.
      Option DebugLevel number
      sets the level of debugging info reported.
      Option BaudRate\fP \fI38400\fP, \fI19200\fP (default) or \fI9600
      changes the serial link speed.
      Option Passive
      decodes the passive pen.
      Option TrackRandR automatically keeps the cursor synchronized with the pen's position, even when
      the screen is resized or rotated. (Recommended for tablet PC's.)

      Example, for Stylistic LT setup is:
      
       "Section qInputDeviceq"
         Identifier \*q mouse0 q
           Driver \*qfpit\*q     Option \*qDevice\*q   \*q/dev/ttyS3 q     # Option \*qTrackRandR\*q   EndSection 
      And for other Stylistic devices try:
      
       "Section qInputDeviceq"
         Identifier \*q mouse0 q
           Driver \*qfpit\*q     Option \*qDevice\*q   \*q/dev/ttyS3 q     Option \*qBaudRate\*q \*q19200 q     Option \*qMaximumXPosition\*q \*q6250 q     Option \*qMaximumYPosition\*q \*q4950 q     Option \*qMinimumXPosition\*q \*q130 q     Option \*qMinimumYPosition\*q \*q0 q     Option \*qInvertY\*q     # Option \*qTrackRandR\*q   EndSection 
      For Stylistic 3400:
      
       "Section qInputDeviceq"
         Identifier \*q mouse0 q
           Driver \*qfpit\*q     Option \*qDevice\*q   \*q/dev/ttyS3 q     Option \*qBaudRate\*q \*q9600 q     Option \*qMaximumXPosition\*q \*q4070 q     Option \*qMaximumYPosition\*q \*q4020 q     Option \*qMinimumXPosition\*q \*q0 q     Option \*qMinimumYPosition\*q \*q0 q     Option \*qPassive\*q     Option \*qSendCoreEvents\*q     # Option \*qTrackRandR\*q   EndSection
