[Bug 549447] Re: eGalax touchscreen configured as tablet

 

Hi, now I have a working 10.04 + evdev driver, there are a few problems
but works.

I started with a fresh ubuntu lucid install and:

- I added usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40 to /etc/default/grub, change
line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40"


- Blacklisted usbtouchscreen module, add:

blacklist usbtouchscreen
to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

- Next I installed all neccesary deps to proper compile xinput
calibrator (download here:
http://github.com/tias/xinput_calibrator/downloads ):

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtkmm-2.4-dev autoconf libtool


- After extract xinput files from the tgz/zip, enter to the decompressed directory and type:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install (optional, binary files are into ../src/ dir )

Here starts my problem, I want to calibrate the device but there are 2
listed into xinput list. After finding the right one with xinput test
"id" I can get the correct values for the calibration, but I can only
apply with this:

$ xinput set-int-prop "id from the right device" "Evdev Axes Swap" 8 1 #<-You probably doesn't need to do this
$ xinput set-int-prop "id from the right device" "Evdev Axis Calibration" 32 315 3902 337 3842

The id's changes every boot, and I can't apply the same configuration.

Also I tried adding the udev rules, but do not worked for me. Ernesto,
you have luck with udev rules? lucid comes with evdev 2.3.2, this
version supports udev rules?

Thanks.
