Hi,
because it was quiet difficult to get linux working with support for the touchscreen I have created a short instruction manual.
- Create a bootable usb stick with a graphical nixos iso using rufus.
- Inside the bios, turn of hyperthreading and lower the powerlimit to the minimum possible value
- Boot the usb stick and follow the steps form the installer. Make sure to create a swap partition with at least 16GB space.
- Reboot into nixos after completing the initial setup. Open a terminal with root permissions (su). Now copy the two files inside the attached zip (sileadTouch.nix and ezpad6prob.nix) into the folder ⁄etc⁄nixos⁄
- Edit ⁄etc⁄nixos⁄configuration.nix and add the line including ezpad6prob.nix, such that your config file should look like:
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
imports =
[
./hardware-configuration.nix
./ezpad6prob.nix
];
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
...
- Run nixos-rebuild switch and wait 5 hours for the kernel to compile. This is also the reason for the swap partition and power limit, since the tablet can overheat without.
- Reboot, reenable hyperthreading and raise power limit. Enjoy your working touchscreen.
My previous post was blocked, probably because it contained slash characters inside the paths. I’ve replaced them with the “⁄” character which looks simmilar, please replace them with proper slash characters when you use them.
Best,
Benjamin
