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 fix

If on your Fydetab the screen rotates incorrectly, you need to install and configure the Screen Rotate extension.

1. Install Extension Manager

Run sudo pacman -S extension-manager to install it, and open the application.

2. Install Screen Rotate

After opening the app, tap Browse > Search > Type Screen rotate > Install Screen Rotate by shyzus.

3. Configure Screen Rotate

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 usage

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.rules

To open the file, run:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/fydetab.rules

2. Append the configuration line

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. Reboot

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
