so i just got a 2 in 1 tablet from amazon  and when i boot up the first time there was windows 10 on it with no drivers so i decided to install linux on first i tried debian ubuntu and linuxmint between those 3 ubuntu was the only one that actually boot up but couldn't recognize the WiFi and Bluetooth nor the touchscreen so i decided to go with fedora 27 amd64 and installed everything worked beside the touchscreen so i did some research and apparently i should enable it in xinput but the problem is when i type xinput it says   Unable to connect to X server i looked up online everyone say do this export DISPLAY=:0.0 but that did nothing so i tried to uninstall and reinstall xinput and Xserver the same issue. 

 

any help?

 

oh and the touchscreen works on windows 10 and in the bios.

Fedora Gnome uses Wayland by default, not Xorg. If you want to use Xorg you should be able to choose at login with a dropdown menu; the touch screen should work by default in wayland though, so the fact that it doesn't might mean the kernel simply doesn't recognize the touch screen.

 

After some research I discovered that the linux compatibility of that model is pretty limited since it uses a wonky firmware configuration; try reading this page and installing ubuntu with isorespin.h. Other than that, you could try looking for the source code of the screen's driver and try compiling and installing it yourself, although making it work may require some effort.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
