Last time I checked, there was no silead driver built in the kernel currently shipped with Debian Buster.

I think many of these devices come with some kind of 'default' template where the manufacturers simply choose the BIOS options that fit the built-in hardware. If your device uses...

Could it not be that the Chuwi Hi8 Air uses the exact same (touch)screen as the Chuwi Hi8 Pro, which is already supported by the current mainline kernel? (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/platform/x86/touchscreen_dmi.c?h=v5.0-rc2#n44) Unlike...

@Yes21 Based on the reactions I got from the touchscreen, I think I either extracted the firmware in a wrong way from the *.rar archive provided here or the tool...

**Short update:** Like I assumed, the messed up touchscreen registration was due to extracting the wrong firmware file. Using `scanwindrv` on the file _SileadTouch.sys_ from [this](http://www.mediafire.com/file/ven2gq50mx2wxem/HI8+Air-driver.rar) archive posted on the...

The maximum coordinates I received via `evemu-record` seem to match the ones for the Chuwi Hi8 Pro in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/platform/x86/touchscreen_dmi.c?h=v5.0-rc2#n44 I created a picture to show the values in the corners:...

I added entries for the tablet and successfully compiled a kernel, but silead_ts still asks for a mssl1680.fw file. I don't know what to do really, I did everything as...

I want to report back that the whole touchscreen suddenly started working after a reboot. I have the feeling that my additions worked and maybe something blocked the driver from...

The touchscreen will respond with the firmware being placed into the corresponding folder, but there is currently no [configuration](https://gist.github.com/StrongTabletMan/6977a5f9893ce860020875a42c297c30/revisions) for the Chuwi Hi8 Air in `touchscreen_dmi.c`. You have to add...

I only downloaded the kernel sources, applied the Ubuntu patches and then followed the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel#Building_the_kernel For me it threw out a few errors during the initial compilation steps....
