tablet on Lenovo X60 Thinkpad no longer works in gutsy

[Serge]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

The tablet on Lenovo X60 Thinkpad no longer works in gutsy. It used to work in Dapper. On tribe 3 with all updates and wacom-tools installed if I do:
xxd /dev/ttyS0
the command exits immediately. Normal behaviour under Dapper is for it to output data from the tablet when the stylus is moved across the screen.
wacdump /dev/ttyS0 gives WacomOpenTablet: Invalid argument
xsetwacom list dev gives nothing

I patched the kernel with

And after that the tablet was working. Works for me and for at least 2 others as described here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=503233

Can we get this in?

Milestoning since we have a patch (and since I have this hw too ;) )

@Serge: I will push this, if you can send a patch with proper credits to <email address hidden>. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide should help you in the process.

[Amit Kucheria (amitk)]

@Serge: Could you confirm this works?

[Henrik Nilsen Omma (henrik)]

Moving milestone to beta.

[Serge (serge-de-souza)]

Yes it works fine. All that is missing now is for
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131424 to be pushed and tablets will
work out of the box for gutsy

Thanks Amit,
