Asus R2H GPS & TouchScreen & WiFi driver setup in Ubuntu 12.04

Asked by Alejandro Padrino

Hi to all members,

I have one Asus R2H UMPC computer with built-in GPS & TouchScreen & WiFi. I was install Ubuntu 12.04 on it, but I don't know how to install GPS & TouchScreen & WiFi drivers (I was read forum for TouchScreen). The packages were installed to GPS support are:

sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients gpsman gpsmanshp gpstrans gpx2shp gypsy-daemon maptool merkaartor mkgmap postgis libtk-img libhdf4-doc libhdf4-alt-dev hdf4-tools ogdi-bin garmin-forerunner-tools geoclue-gpsd navit spatialite-bin josm qlandkarte postgresql-9.1-postgis osm2pgsql odbcinst unixodbc mysql-common mysql-server flite festival gnutls-doc gnutls-bin libgnutls-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev librtmp-dev build-essential autoconf automake pkg-config gconf2 libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexif-dev libsqlite3-dev libgconf2-dev libtool libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libgps-dev intltool glade glade-gnome libtool-doc gfortran gfortran-multilib gfortran-doc gfortran-4.6 gfortran-4.6-multilib gfortran-4.6-doc

and ...

sudo apt-get install foxtrotgps python-beautifulsoup python-feedparser

... but GPS does not appear into Foxtrot (GPSD not found). For WiFi, it appears to be installed and activated, but does not show WiFi acces points.

Anyone can help?

Thank you.

If you run:

xev

And touch the screen, does it generate events?
Are there bugs reported?

Yes, touching screen with xev started makes this event:

PropertyNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001,
    atom 0x13a (_NET_FRAME_EXTENTS), time 1331211, state PropertyNewValue

I supposed that device is present and need to calibrate.

Trying this ...

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator

... does not finish the calibrate process. Can't touch the four squares. Only can touch up-left and down-left squares.
