I don’t think linux has not a good support for touch screen devices, and I don’t think there exists a ‘table mode’, but it works as expected.

The only thing that does not work is the fingerprint reader. I’ll try to find a way to make it work, because it is very useful. If anyone has fingerprint working in linux, please share with us.

The problem is in the linux kernel, that does not recognize the touchpad.

After a long discussion in this bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1526312 someone came up with a solution that solved the problem.

I think there will be an easier solution soon, but if you don’t want to wait, here are the steps I used to fix the problem.

1- Download the modified i2c-hid.c file from https://github.com/brotfessor/sipodev/blob/master/b/i2c-hid.c

2- Download the source of the kernel version you want to use

3- Replace the original i2c-hid.c file by the modified i2c-hid.c

4- Now compile the kernel and install

I found some interesting information about this problem: Another Laptop Model Trekstor Primebook C11 has the exact same problem. In an Amazon review someone wrote (translated): “To activate the automatic tablet mode I have copied the file HingeAngleService into windows/system32 and additionaly executed HingeAngleService.reg (to load it into the registry). That activated the automatic Tablet Mode (After a restart). Since the touchpad was stil active in tablet mode, I executed the setup file SIPO TP Controller.exe. Now the automatic shutdown of the Touchbad works when the Screen is opened more than 180 degrees.” referring to this drive package: http://www.trekstor.de/produkte/2in1/detail-2in1/product/primebook-C11-wifi.html#Downloads Since the SIPO TP Controller is used by the F6 aswell, I will try if I can get it to work. UPDATE: It worked!

1. Download the two attached files.
2. Copy HingeAngleService.exe (if it isn’t already there yet) into C:\Windows\System32
3. Execute HingeAngleService.reg (I think this is what actually solves the problem with the Power State D3 of the Base Sensor whic is D0 aftewards)
4. (Not sure if necessary) Install new SIPO TP Controller (Preinstalled is Ver. 1.0.0.5, new is 1.0.1.2; and maybe you don’t even have the old one after reset.)
5. Restart PC

 

I tried this and it solved the problem.

Thanks a lot!

I tried Antergos, but the result is the same.

I have the same problem. It used to detect when I switched to tablet mode, but after reinstalling windows 10 it doesn’t detect anymore. I don’t think the problem is with the drivers, because I tried to install the drivers of Kionix sensors from the backup (https://techtablets.com/wpfb_file_category/teclast-f6-pro/) and the problem persists.
