HP tx1000 won't work

This device uses the N-Trig touchscreen. You likely need a firmware upgrade to your hardware. There are some notes on this at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/#N-trig>.

@Johannes, I have a tx1220ca, very similar. Can you share the result of lsusb ?
My touchscreen works but the cursor stays in the top corner in 10.04. Can you share how your system worked in 10.04 ?

@stephen:
with ubuntu 10.10, how can i check my firmware?

@Fabian :

in ubuntu 10.04 work, i just add
xinput --set-int-prop "eGalax INC. USB TouchController" "Device Enabled" 8 0

at startup application, and i can calibrate it and work
and edit fdi file for touchscreen, i forget what file it's but it content
option Minx, MinY, untouch status, touch status
i cannot tell you the file, because i have already upgrade it, and now it's gone

but in 10.04, it cannot detect my touchscreen and work well

this is my lsusb (ubuntu 10.10)

should i turn back to ubuntu 10.04? but i think ubuntu 10.10 is better for connect my GSM modem, it had a choice for 3G prefered and work more better than 10.04

*) but in 10.04, it cannot detect my touchscreen and work well <---sorry , miss type

but in 10.04, it can detect my touchscreen and work well <---

work now on ubuntu 10.10

and add "usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40" to /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x800-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40"

sudo update-grub

now my touch screen normal again.......

@Johannes, many thanks, that's very useful. If the only reason you upgraded to 10.10 is the modem, you can try this in 10.04LTS:
- Boot from a live CD
- install the usb-modeswitch package
- Remove-reinsert the stick
- Network manager should now see the stick and let you use/configure it

usb-modeswitch is now included in 10.10 but as you see it's trivial to add in 10.04 LTS. If you want more information about this please open a separate question.
