I’ve got a Hi10 Pro with the keyboard and HiPen2 stylus. I gave Linuxium’s 16.10 Gnome image a go. Bluetooth works out of the box, wifi works after compiling the driver — but I have to set SDIO to PCI. The touchscreen works well with angellsl10’s firmware. HUGE thanks to angellsl10 and BBaker! The system seems stable and I’m pretty happy with it. However, with Linuxium’s kernel I haven’t been able to change the brightness or monitor the battery. Those are pretty important… part of the proballlem seems to be the dire dearth of acpi modules in this inst. The only power supply device is an adapter (“ADP1”) though I’m running off battery, and I have 8 acpi_backlight devices which don’t do a thing. I’d like to try to get an intel_backlight up to control screen brightness but when I try to generate an xorg.conf (“X -configure”) X complains that there are no devices; it doesn’t recognize the intel chip. I haven’t tried to get sound working. alsa 1.1.2 (the version in Linuxium’s latest images) doesn’t have the chip’s driver. The touchscreen works very reliably, though; loads on every boot (with gslx1680_acpi_ts added to init modules), and even the pen works! The pen is awful, by the way. Outside of linux it is slow and unreliable; in linux you can see why: there’s really horrible random noise in its cursor location which Remix and Windows take large samples of to smooth out.
I can’t make the wifi and touch screen work in ubuntu 17 following the steps above mentioned, could it be because my pad is a Chuwi Hi10 pro? Maybe the drivers are different from the Hi10…
