BASE OPERATIONS

install Xubuntu 6.06 LTS 

edit /etc/inittab and comment the following lines (useful for save some megabyte of ram)
 #2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
 #3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
 #4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4

install optimized base kernel
 apt-get install linux-image-686 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-25-686
 apt-get remove --purge  linux-image-2.6.15-23-386 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-686
 
(optional)
reconfigure kernel
 apt-get install linux-source libncurses-dev kernel-package
 (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml - nvidia kernel config)
 (http://www.johanneswilm.org/TC1000/ - tc1000 kernel .config)
 make the kernel in the normal debian way

install base packages for tabletpc configurations
 apt-get install build-essential
 apt-get install localepurge (select en_en and the code for your idiom (my is it))


create an additional boot script based on the skeleton of /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh (do not edit the original file, in the future they could change)
 vi /etc/init.d/bootlegolas.sh
 chmod 755 /etc/init.d/bootlegolas.sh
 cd /etc/rcS.d
 ln -s ../init.d/bootlegolas.sh S80bootlegolas.sh

edit /etc/fstab and add noatime flag on partitions (little speed-up)

remove not useful boot links
 cd /etc/rcS.d
 mv S26lvm _S26lvm
 mv S27evms _S27evms
 mv S40networking _S40networking
 mv S25mdadm_raid _S25mdadm_raid
 cd /etc/rc2.d
 mv S19cupsys _S19cupsys
 mv S18hplip _S18hplip

edit /etc/network/interfaces with your preferred network parameters



MISC HARDWARE CONFIG

enable nvidia proprietary driver
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia)
 apt-get install nvidia-glx
 apt-get install xranrd
 edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf for nvidia driver instead of nv (opengl 3d and ranrd support)

sensors
 apt-get install lm-sensors
 sensors-detect (if it doesn't work, run modprobe i2c-dev and the re-run the command)
 add modules i2c-isa e via686a in file /etc/modules



PEN CONFIG

base system config
 apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.15-23 linux-headers-2.6.15-23-686
 apt-get install setserial

creating the driver
 cd /usr/src
 wget http://groundstate.ca/files/fpi2002-0.5.tar.gz
 tar -xzf fpi2002-0.5.tar.gz
 rm fpi2002-05.tar.gz
 cd fpi2002-.0.5/
 mv Makefile Makefile-2.4
 cp Makefile-2.6 Makefile
 make
 make install
 (the installer will put the file in /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-686/kernel/drivers/serial dir)

check if the driver works
 modprobe fpi2002
 setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig
 setserial /dev/ttyS0 (should return something similar to "/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0×03f8, IRQ: 4")

install the driver
 add modules fpi2002 in file /etc/modules
 add "setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig" in /etc/init.d/bootlegolas.sh
  
create and install Xorg driver
 cd /usr/src

ACPI CONFIG

longrun
 apt-get install longrun
 modprobe cpuid
 modprobe msr
 add modules cpuid e msr in file /etc/modules

acpi event config
 create /etc/acpi/tc1000.sh (this script handles some events, like battery/AC change)
 chmod 755 /etc/acpi/tc1000.sh
 edit /etc/init.d/bootlegolas.sh for starting up this script
 create /etc/acpi/events/all_events (called by tc1000.sh for handling events)



SIDE BUTTONS
(http://www.johanneswilm.org/TC1000/ for instructions)
(http://linux-tablet-pc.dhs.org/#Keys for keycodes)

create file /etc/tc1000.map (for terminal keymap)
 keycode 130 = F16
 keycode 131 = F17
 keycode 132 = Tab
 keycode 133 = Escape
 keycode 134 = Up
 keycode 135 = Down

add in /etc/init.d/bootlegolas.sh
 setkeycodes e002 130
 setkeycodes e003 131
 setkeycodes e004 132
 setkeycodes e005 133
 setkeycodes e006 134
 setkeycodes e007 135
 loadkeys /etc/tc1000.map

create file /etc/X11/Xmodmap (for GDM/Xfce and other X program)
 ! Compaq TC1000 side keys
 keycode 134 = F16
 keycode 135 = F17
 keycode 140 = Tab
 keycode 248 = Z
 keycode 191 = Up
 keycode 192 = Down
(this script is executed by /etc/X11/Xsession and is global for all users)



DIFFERENT BOOT PROFILES (LANDSCAPE OR PORTRAIT MONITOR)
(http://linux-tablet-pc.dhs.org/howto.html)
(http://www2.zacharywhitley.com:8080/linux/installation/Compaq_TC-1000.php)
(http://www.dklevine.com/general/software/tc1000/configure.htm)

create different Xorg config file, one for each video mode that needs, and call them xorg.conf.lanscape xorg.conf.portrait (for example)
edit /boot/grub/menu.list and create a new item equal to the item of the current  kernel
add the "videomode=portrait" or "videomode=landscape" at the end of the kernel boot parameters line anche change the kernel title according
edit the /etc/init.d/bootlegolas.sh and add
 cp of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.$videomode /etc/X11/xorg.conf
if you create a grup kernel item where no videomode is set, this is useful for using last choosed videomode (no copy in the bootlegolas.sh file)
you can add as many as you want different video mode (twinview, use nv driver instead of nvidia etc)



ADDITIONAL TABLET SOFTWARE

xvkbd
 apt-get install xvkbd
 create a launcher in xfce bar for xvkdb
 edit $home/.Xsessions and personalize the aspect of the keyboard
  xvkbd.windowGeometry: 220x90
  xvkbd.compact: false
  xvkbd*Font: 6x12

xvkdb under gdm
(http://linux-tablet-pc.dhs.org/howto.html)
(http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato/xvkbd/)
 apt-get install xvkbd
 edit file /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default and add the following line before the "exit 0" line
 sleep 15 && /usr/bin/xvkbd -geometry -10-10 & 
 (increment the sleep timeout if xkvbd appeas before the gmd login screen)

multimedia
 add marillat and listen repository to /etc/apt/source.list
 apt-get install listen python-gnome2
 apt-get win32codecs, mplayer-686, realplayer

network administrator software
 apt-get install kismet ethereal tethereal ettercap
 apt-get install wifi-radar
 mv /etc/rc2.d/S20wifi-radar /etc/rc2.d/_S20wifi-radar



DIFFERENT LOGIN USER, SAME PROGRAM CONFIGS
create a different user for each interface-mode that you want (for example, i created 3 user: one, legolas, in the principal, the second, mediabox, is for multimedia and pen-only use of the tablet, the third, mother, is for my mother, that wants power-on the tablet and navigate in internet and press a button and shutdown it, no more) and personalize the interface as you want. remember to add user in the correct group (audio, video, admin etc)
set the gdm theme to "Happy Gnome with browser"
put the avatar icon in .face file under under home user directory
if you want use the same firefox and listen profile for legolas and mediabox user
 start firefox and listen under legolas user and close them (this create the profile directories)
 add the mediabox user into legolas group
 chmod 770 /home/legolas/.mozilla -R
 chmod 770 /home/legolas/.listen -R
 sudo -i
 cd /home/mediabox/
 ln -s ../legolas/.mozilla .mozilla
 ln -s ../legolas/.listen .listen


ADDITIONALE NOTES

PCMCIA MANAGEMENT
when you add a pcmcia card in a moment different from boot, for enabling it run the following command
 sudo modprobe pcmcia && modprobe pcmcia_core
 sudo cardmgr

LONGRUN
to check longrun status
 longrun -c /dev/cpu/0/cpuid -m /dev/cpu/0/msr -p
to manually c reate longrun devices (generally not needed)
 mkdir -p /dev/cpu/0
 mknod /dev/cpu/0/msr -m 0644 c 202 0
 mknod /dev/cpu/0/cpuid -m 0600 c 203 0
