Here are a few notes on how to get the most important hardware of the Fujitsu U820 \/ U2010 \/ U2020 working on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
\nSome of the hints might also apply to the Fujistu U810 \/ U1010 – make sure to ignore step 1 as these devices use the GMA 950 graphics chip which is working perfectly out of the box.<\/p>\n

1. Installing the Intel GMA 500 graphics driver<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ubuntu Wiki has all the necessary information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basically one just needs to do as follows:<\/p>\n

\r\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500\/ppa \r\nsudo apt-get update\r\nsudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d poulsbo-config\r\n<\/pre>\n
UPDATE: The following step is no longer required.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Unfortunately the version as of this writing does not support Compiz and thus you won’t get any of the funky special effects. However, there is a workaround available as described in the Ubuntu Wiki<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\r\nwget http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/1338581\/poulsbo\/poulsbo-config_0.1.2%7E1004um3_all.deb\r\nsudo dpkg --install poulsbo-config_0.1.2~E1004um3_all.deb\r\nsudo apt-get install compiz\r\n<\/pre>\n
2. Installing the Fujitsu Buttons driver (fjbtndrv)<\/strong><\/p>\n
In order to get the buttons and auto-rotation functionality working we will need to compile and install the latest version of fjbtndrv<\/a>.
\nThe most current version as of this writing is 2.2.1. Please make sure you download the latest version here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo apt-get install libxrandr-dev libxtst-dev libxi-dev libhal-dev\r\nwget http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/fjbtndrv\/files\/fjbtndrv\/2.2.1\/fjbtndrv-2.2.1.tar.gz\/download\r\ntar xvzf fjbtndrv-2.2.1.tar.gz\r\ncd fjbtndrv-2.2.1\r\n.\/configure\r\nmake\r\nsudo make install\r\n<\/pre>\n
3. Installing the Fujitsu Touchscreen driver<\/strong><\/p>\n
The touchscreen is working somewhat with the included evdev<\/a> driver. I could not find a way to calibrate the touch screen via xinput etc. So I went back to using zmiq2<\/a>‘s touch screen driver available here<\/a>.
\nVersion 0.3.7 won’t compile because some important USB functions were renamed in kernel 2.6.35.
\nStraight from the kernel 2.6.35 changelog<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\n    USB: rename usb_buffer_alloc() and usb_buffer_free() users<\/p>\n
    For more clearance what the functions actually do,<\/p>\n
      usb_buffer_alloc() is renamed to usb_alloc_coherent()
\n      usb_buffer_free()  is renamed to usb_free_coherent()\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So, one either needs to patch the fujitsu_usb_touchscreen.c<\/em> manually and replace every occurrence of the aforementioned function names or we just move on and use the already patched version provided by nerd65536<\/strong>. I mirrored the file he posted to the hosting service linked to in the comments section of zmiq’s blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\r\nwget http:\/\/katastrophos.net\/downloads\/fujitsu-usb-touchscreen-0.3.8.tar.gz\r\ntar xvzf fujitsu-usb-touchscreen-0.3.8.tar.gz\r\ncd fujitsu-usb-touchscreen-0.3.8\r\nmake\r\nsudo make install\r\n<\/pre>\n
In order to have the auto-rotation functionality of fjbtndrv<\/strong> working with the fujitsu-usb-touchscreen<\/strong> driver we need to add a new startup item: Click on System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications<\/strong> and click Add<\/strong>. Enter following<\/p>\n
\r\n    Name: Fujitsu Touchscreen Auto-Rotation\r\n    Command: \/usr\/bin\/fujitsu-touchscreen-rotate.py\r\n    Comment: \r\n<\/pre>\n
Click Add<\/strong> and Close<\/strong> the preferences dialog.<\/p>\n
Finally, reboot the system.<\/strong>
\nEnter the BIOS and make sure that the setting Advanced -> Miscellaneous Configurations -> Touch Panel Setting<\/strong> is set to Tablet<\/strong>, ie. the same setting that is required to use the Tablet functionality in Win XP Tablet, Vista or Seven.<\/p>\n
3.1. Calibrating the touchscreen<\/strong><\/p>\n
Once the system has booted and you are back on the Gnome desktop, start a Terminal session and run <\/p>\n
\r\nfujitsu_touchscreen_calibration.py\r\n<\/pre>\n
to calibrate the touchscreen. Click on any corner of the visible screen (repeat a few times) and press the S key<\/strong> to save the settings.<\/p>\n
3.2. Configuring the Right-Click feature<\/strong><\/p>\n
In order to get the feature “right-click by press and hold<\/strong>” go to System -> Preferences -> Mouse<\/strong>, click the tab “Accessibility<\/strong>” and check the option “Trigger secondary click by holding down the primary button<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n
4. Fixing the repeating sound issue<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you are experiencing the Ubuntu startup jingle repeating over and over again, the snd_hda_intel module might have problems coping with the ALC269 chip in your device. In this case run the following command:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo gedit \/etc\/modprobe.d\/alsa-base.conf\r\n<\/pre>\n
and add the following line to the end of the file:<\/p>\n
\r\noptions snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0\r\n<\/pre>\n
Save and finally reboot the system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
