I believe this is an issue for drivers and/or sparc (or maybe current) I think I have a TX2 too. I can try it on my Ultra 5 if more testing is required.

There is a tool set for Linux here http://g15tools.sourceforge.net/ I would be interested in a driver or to help build a Driver if someone has one started. Many thanks Sam Fourman Jr.
