HP tc4400 running Ubuntu 8.4t

I installed Ubuntu 8.4 on my tc4400 earlier this month…and like Ubuntu 6 on an older tc4200 everything ran well…  Most everythign that is.

I have gotten the stylus to work by uncommenting the following lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
InputDevice   “stylus”      “SendCoreEvents”
      InputDevice   “cursor”      “SendCoreEvents”
      InputDevice   “eraser”      “SendCoreEvents”

What I don’t seem to have working just yet is the following:

  1. Processor Scaling
  2. Stylus Button
  3. Screen Rotation
  4. Soft Buttons (the “Q,” rotate, and “input panel” touch buttons on the screen bezel)
  5. Scroll Dial on edge of screen
  6. Biometric Fingerprint Reader

I will keep working on these items, and will update this post as I discover the fixes for each of these items.

2008.05.26 UPDATE:  Processor scaling was resolved simply by a BIOS Update.  I had F.05 and I upgraded to F.09.  You can find that update here.
