Hello, everyone,

I signed up here in the hope of finally finding someone who can help me.

I have an old convertible, the Fujitsu Lifebook P1610.
I want to integrate this into my Sim-Cockpit as a tablet replacement.
As a second display or input device.

Since the Windows 7 running so far became slower and slower, something new has to be done.
I have considered the following distributions so far: Xubunt, LinuxMint and Xenialpuppy.
All three are based on Ubuntu, whereby Linux Mint has a nicer surface and Xenialpuppy was the fastest in the test.

But I didn't get the touchscreen to work with both with the help of the driver on Github.
I followed the ReadMe (even installed Vim) but on reboot, Linux just doesn't start anymore.

Since I am a total beginner, concerning Linux, I hope for you...

Greetings

Hallo Zusammen,

Ich habe mich hier angemeldet, in der Hoffnung endlich jemanden zu finden, der mir helfen kann.

Ich habe ein altes Convertible, das Fujitsu Lifebook P1610.
Dieses möchte ich als Tabletersatz in mein Sim-Cockpit einbinden.
Als zweites Display bzw. Input-Device.

Da das bisher laufende Windows 7 immer langsamer wurde, muss was neues her.
Ich habe bisher folgende Distributionen ins Auge gefasst: Xubunt, LinuxMint und Xenialpuppy.
Alle drei basieren auf Ubuntu, wobei Linux Mint eine schönere Oberfläche hat und Xenialpuppy das schnellste im Test war.

Ich habe bei beiden aber den Touchscreen mit Hilfe des Treiber auf Github aber nicht zum laufen bekommen.
Ich habe die ReadMe befolgt (mir sogar Vim nachinstalliert) aber beim Neustart, startet Linux einfach nicht mehr.

Da ich ein totaler Anfänger bin, was Linux angeht, hoffe ich auf Euch...

I've only had a couple of touchscreen laptops. On both occasions, I believe that the Wacom drivers worked for the screen. You may also want to install xrandr so that you can do screen rotation.

Having a Dell XT2 touchscreen. Uses a Wacom pen inserted in case even.

I left Puppy a while ago. But I still know how to search for Puppy problem solutions.

Since you said Puppy ran the fastest.
Shotgun link for Puppy solutions. Just change the search term " touchscreen "in the beginning of search bar box on page.

Edit: Even on my Dell Touchscreen. It takes more than out of the box support to enable usage. It takes a bit of tweaking.
