Toughbook CF-31

[imWACC0]

I'm trying to set up two CF-31 (with MX-23.2_x64, XFCE):

1) CF-31WFLAXLM
2) CF-31JEGAX1M

They are noted for not working out of the box (even in WindBlows). Mouse touchpad/touchscreen, sound, screen brightness keys, are not working.

Using this guide to try to fix it: https://www.bobjohnson.com/blog/how-to- ... book-cf31/


But the files don't do what it says, or missing, in MX, or an update took them out in the last 4 years.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Key points:

Will this work?

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.nomux i8024.noloop"

Where is?

Code: Select all

 /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf

The "Startup Applications Preferences" needs:

Code: Select all

xinput set-prop "Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1.075, 0, -.03, 0, 1.1, -0.07, 0, 0, 1

P.S. Only system with MX I have ATM is a server, Don't feel like testing this stuff on that.
P.P.S.The power brick that was "for CF-31", was the wrong volt/watt/amp. Going to be a few day to test things.

I found this video guide for an Ubuntu install on that laptop:
https://www.google.com/search?q=toughbo ... U_woA,st:0

it might give you some tips.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Probably need quick system info readout for both units so members can see hardware and version of MX being used.

I will as soon as the right power brick shows up. It ain't easy getting parts for an old system.

That's why I gave the part number, most are known. What info do you need beyond what's in these links?

Probably best to wait till charger comes in. Then you can post a live run or installed run of quick system info.

Amazon links are OK. Just not enough detail to see hardware .

HERE is a example of my details.

Links are OK for general stuff. Above is meat of your subject thread. Quick system info will show what I posted, somewhat.

[Charlie Brown]

... Will this work?..

Yes (hopefully) but:

on MX there's a simpler way : "MX Boot Options" from menu - 'Kernel Parameters" box.. add there (with a space after the existing ones) and click apply.

However:

• I wonder why they wrote it as i8024 , actually no such parameter ( but i8042 )
  
  Also this would be even better ("belt and braces" :) )
  

  Code: Select all

  i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop

• Also, since that description was according to Ubuntu (and a previous release) it was according to Pulseaudio (now it's Pipewire) hence no such file ...
  
  Once you post the "Quick System Info" from menu, we (all forum members) can try to make the sound work other ways ...

• As for the startup entry:
  
  You'll find it in Menu:
  
  "Session and Startup" , the 2nd tab, click the "add" button on buttom-left:
  
  Any name you like, Any description you like, Command:
  

  Code: Select all

  sh -c '/usr/bin/xinput set-prop "Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel Pen (0)" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1.075, 0, -.03, 0, 1.1, -0.07, 0, 0, 1'

P.S. You can also install the most recent Liquorix kernel from "MX Package Installer" with just 2 clicks and reboot and try sound , mouse etc...

[imWACC0]

i8024 Vs. i8042 )

{Head->Desk} I'm guessing that's why the "fix" did not work

Code: Select all

i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop

Thanks, that's good info

If things are "Pipewire" now, I'm betting the code for pulseaudio is not going to work {face->palm}

Code: Select all

[Element Headphone]
switch = off
volume = merge
override-map.1 = all
override-map.2 = all-left,all-right

and

Code: Select all

[Element Speaker]
required-any = any
switch = mute
volume = off

I'm not sure what those two changes do, what I do know is that headphones will work but speakers don't


Thank you for your time, I'll get more info when the two bricks show up

[imWACC0]

Amazon links are OK. Just not enough detail to see hardware .

If there's specific info you need, let me know. I can find all specs that you need.

P.S. I have two Wyse 5060 around here, and a few older ones also. Running PFsense on one, and a few app servers running on old Wyse (Yes, they do need to be on there own hardware)

He just meant the "Quick System Info" from menu. Just click "copy for forum" then directly paste into your post ("directly", cause it also has the "code tags" required, sometimes users edit it and remove them)
