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.

This driver supports the touchscreen of the Stylistic LT and (with special options) of the Stylistic 500, 1000 and 2300.

Under Linux the Fujitsus serial port is not, by default, detected. Therefore the following must be added to one of your start-up scripts. (Either one of the X scripts, or to rc.local or similar).

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

Please refer to xorg.conf(5) 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" " number"

Sets the maximum X position, use this to calibrate your touchscreen's right hand edge.

Option " MinimumXPosition" " number"

Sets the minimum X position, use this to calibrate your touchscreen's left hand edge.

Option " MaximumYPosition" " number"

Option " MinimumYPosition" " number"

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.

Option " Rotate" " CW"

Option " Rotate" " CWW" Manipulate the invert and swap options to match screen rotations.

Option " DeviceName" " name"

Option " DeviceName" " name" sets the name of the X device.

Option " AlwaysCore" " on"

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" " 38400" , " 19200" or " 9600" (default)

changes the serial link speed.

Option " Passive"

decodes the passive pen.

Example, for Stylistic LT setup is:

Section qInputDeviceq
  Identifier qmouse0q
  Driver qfpitq
  Option qDeviceq   q/dev/ttyS3q
EndSection

And for other Stylistic devices try:

Section qInputDeviceq
  Identifier qmouse0q
  Driver qfpitq
  Option qDeviceq   q/dev/ttyS3q
  Option qBaudRateq q19200q
  Option qMaximumXPositionq q6250q
  Option qMaximumYPositionq q4950q
  Option qMinimumXPositionq q130q
  Option qMinimumYPositionq q0q
  Option qInvertYq
EndSection

For Stylistic 3400:

Section qInputDeviceq
  Identifier qmouse0q
  Driver qfpitq
  Option qDeviceq   q/dev/ttyS3q
  Option qBaudRateq q9600q
  Option qMaximumXPositionq q4070q
  Option qMaximumYPositionq q4020q
  Option qMinimumXPositionq q0q
  Option qMinimumYPositionq q0q
  Option qPassiveq
  Option qSendCoreEventsq
