quick note on x61t tuxonice issues

1. dhcpcd dies after resume
   fix: add an OnResume entry in /etc/hibernateOnResume scripts

2. stylus geometry messed up. also reproducible if
   • manually rotate to another direction by
     xrandr -o right && xsetwacom set stylus rotate CW

   • switch to some VT and back
   • now one or more of {Top/Bottom}{X/Y} is wrong

   there’s no problem if both xrandr and xsetwacom are in normal orientation, so probably a problem of wacom driver. Never realized it before as I’ve never switched to VT from tablet mode, but IIRC hibernate-script has this trick of switching to some ficticious VT and then back to ensure X is displayed on resume, and so the weird problem.

   fix: manually by DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set stylus xydefault for device named stylus, etc. . Here’s a script to reset all available devices:

   #!/bin/sh 
   # rst: reset tablet geometry 
   export DISPLAY=:0.0
   devices=`xsetwacom list dev | cut -f1 -d' '`
   for d in $devices; do
       xsetwacom set $d xydefault
   done

   I just bound it to the tiny little reset button on the tablet panel (keycode 199 as revealed by showkey) in actkbd.

   ## tiny little button, code 199
   199	:rep   :grab,noexec	:
   199	:rel   :grabbed,ungrab  :/home/bin/rst
   199	:rel   :ungrabbed	:/home/bin/rst
