IBM FlipTouch DisplayThe FlipTouch display has four components that add together to one of the most interesting notebook display solutions ever:
The Touchscreen enables one to do point-and-click operations on the display. The FlipTouch Buttons provide TouchScreen access to display related and other hardware related functions. The FlipTouch display mechanics enable the user to flexibly use the display in several positions:
The FlipTouch software provides the neccessary software support like the TouchScreen driver, the on screen button panel and the software to flip the screen by 180 degrees. |
This display solution was introduced and shelved with the TransNote.
Linux Support
The TouchScreen is a serial attached MicroTouch TouchBase TouchScreen. It is attached to the first serial port (/dev/ttyS0), which holds IO-Ports 3F8 to 3FF and IRQ 7.
Information about the TouchScreens serial communications protocol can be found on Ben "netjunki" Moores TransNote Development Notes. Also, you can find a driver (for XFree86 V4.1, with binary for Debian 3.0) there.
The ThinkPad and Volume mute buttons on the right sight of the display work with tpb as on every other ThinkPad featuring those buttons. The TouchPanel button in the middle triggers neither tpb nor xev nor showkey. At least not with default configurations.
