Fujitsu lifebook T4220 pen won't work

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a

Thanks

Sorry for the delay, I can't get to that portion of commands once I input the second command line after the install set serial "/dev/ttyS0 port 0x220 irq 4 autoconfig" I get "error Bad command". That is where I always come to a stop. Forgot to mention that I have to use the terminal as a root or it won't let me even apply the set serial command.

I guess what I am looking for is there something that I am suppose to type in front front of the dev/ttyS0 port 0x220 irq 4 autoconfig line or is that the entire line?

Thanks
Miguel

Googling for "dev/ttyS0 port 0x220 irq 4" or similar search texts shows that the line to be added to /etc/serial.conf is

setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x220 irq 4 autoconfig

So maybe you omitted the word "setserial" and that is what you are looking for?

By the way, make sure not to type capital o (O) instead of zero (0)

You can also look for any messages in the boot log related to serial ports with the command

dmesg | grep ttyS

Can you give the output of the command I requested

Thanks

Thanks I will do that as soon as I get home from work I'll let you know how
it goes

As soon as I get home from work this evening I will run the line so I can

help i've been breaking my head over this issue

Cool so I think I am a little closer, you were right I was not using
setserial before the command line. I typed in setserial now I get error
message "cannot autoconfigure port:device or resource busy. Thanks again

The output of the command is sudo: /dev/ttySO: command not found. I found
that I had to type setserial before the command so I did. I think I am
getting closer cause the error I get now is
"Cannot autoconfig port: device or resource busy"
Thanks for taking the time to help. Miguel

In your last message you again mistyped a capital O for a zero 0

What is the output of the commands

lsb_release -a

sudo setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x220 irq 4 autoconfig

Ok I ran it now with a 0 instead of an O  I got the following and also ran the lsb_release -a
root@miguel-laptop:~# setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x220 irq 4 autoconfig
Cannot autoconfigure port: Device or resource busy
root@miguel-laptop:~# lsb_release -a

Please try

sudo setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x220 irq 4 autoconfig

If it fails as before, try the following command to see who is using that device

lsof /dev/ttyS0

Thanks again, I tried the line but got the same error
Cannot autoconfigure port: Device or resource busy

this is the result when I ran the other line you recommended to see who is using the port

root@miguel-laptop:~# lsof /dev/ttyS0
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/miguel/.gvfs
