GNOME Desktop on Fydetab Duo
The gnome-desktop can be installed with the AUR package gnome-meta.
Install it with yay -S gnome-meta.
For proper operation you should also switch to GDM upon installation. That can be done by running:
sudo systemctl disable lightdm
sudo systemctl enable gdm
Only Gnome wayland is at all supported.
Screen rotation fixâ
If on your Fydetab the screen rotates incorrectly, you need to install and configure the Screen Rotate extension.
1. Install Extension Managerâ
Run sudo pacman -S extension-manager to install it, and open the application.
2. Install Screen Rotateâ
After opening the app, tap Browse > Search > Type Screen rotate > Install Screen Rotate by shyzus.
3. Configure Screen Rotateâ
Head back to the Installed page of Extension Manager and tap the settings cogwheel to open the extension's settings panel.
Then you should increase the value of Set orientation offset to 1.
Landscape stylus usageâ
The stylus will only point correctly when the screen is rotated vertically by default. To set this to instead work horizontally:
1. Open /etc/udev/rules.d/fydetab.rulesâ
To open the file, run:
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/fydetab.rules
2. Append the configuration lineâ
At the bottom of the file, add:
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_INPUT_TABLET}=="1", ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1"
Then press Ctrl + S to save and Ctrl + X to quit.
3. Rebootâ
After reboot the pen will work correctly.
If you mistakenly tried gnome setting's stylus calibration, remove the calibration data by running:
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/tablets
