The Gateway and the stylus


Gateway M285-E Fujitsu FinePoint
I have a Gateway M285-E Tablet PC. This computer uses a Fujitsu FinePoint digitizer.
I followed this guide to installing support for the device. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3031523

The pen tracks across the screen perfect. Not just perfect, but better than in XP. Unfortunately, button clicks don't seem to be recognized at all. I tried doing the xsetpointer TOUCHSCREEN && xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3' trick but that didn't seem to change anything. If I used xev I was able to catch some output about a button 121.

xinput test TOUCHSCREEN was able to give me a LOT of this

motion a[0]=5850 a[1]=4342
motion a[0]=5844 a[1]=4316
motion a[0]=5840 a[1]=4289


I assume that means there is a little twitching around the screen that I'm just not noticing. However, It seems good enough to me.

Can anybody help me figure out how to get my buttons working?
