Wacom Serial Stylus problem using Thinkpad X61t with dock

[sege]

Hey there,

I still got one issue regarding my new X61 tablet.

Everything works perfect, Wacom Serial Stylus is initialized via setserial as a init script:

Code: Select all

tablet sege # cat /etc/init.d/mysetserials 
#!/bin/sh

/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x0200 irq 5 autoconfig
tablet sege # 

Xorg.conf is configured to /dev/ttyS0...
The tablet works when booting up the notebook WITHOUT the dockingstation.

The dockingstation has a serial port so this one becomes /dev/ttyS0 and is causing problems if I want to do setserial or access it with X. So -> no tablet functionality while docked.

I can fix it changing /dev/ttyS0 (in the init script and Xorg.conf) to /dev/ttyS1.
Rebooting and everything works fine again.... _as long as I am docked_

If I boot up undocked tablet again does not work.
I have to change everything back to /dev/ttyS0

Any ideas how to fix it ?

My first thought would be see if you can disable the docking station serial port in the BIOS, if at all possible. That way, the station's serial port never comes into play.

Blessed be!
