touchscreen woes

**shakes** · 12-18-2003, 07:57 PM

just got my lilliput in today from digitalww (woohoo!) ...

got it hooked up and all with the display is good.

however i have had no luck with the touchscreen. i downloaded the latest driver from www.egalax.com.tw ... unzipped them ... plugged in the TS via USB, then fed windows the driver i had just downloaded. it recognizes the device as a touchkit USB controller, but then windows said there was a problem with the INF and touchscreen no workie.

using XP SP1 (not 1a).

anyone have any ideas?

ok i'm an idiot... i just fed windows the driver ... i didn't run the setup.exe ... i was about to do that and saw the PS2 checkbox and thought that was only for PS2 installs ...

i went back and ran setup.exe from the new driver set and all is good now

Even the best minds in business make mistakes. Nothing is idiot proof. Too many smart idiots. Not to call you an idiot but stuff like that happens man.

I am just setting up my Lilliput also. Not very happy so far. The calibration only seems to last about 5 minutes or until you shut down, whichever comes first. It also does some freaky stuff when I turn on the pc and it is already on, where the splash sceen stops and the desktop starts, it goes blank. I have to turn it off/on and it is fine then. There dont seem to be any drivers for the monitor itself, just for the touch part. I have tried different refresh rates and stuff, but no luck. So far, not too happy with it. Still trying to make sense of the whole Jurassic park thing too...very odd!

mutilator ... as i said i just ran the setup.exe (either off the CD or download the latest driver set)

gospeed.racer ... get the latest bios flash from VIA for your mobo ... i've heard it fixes a lot of video issues including what you speak of (haven't done it on mine yet)

fwiw ... a guy i've been helping with his install had his touchscreen just stop working. and it seems mine has done the same thing.

he got his from the HK guy, and I got mine from armen. I'm gonna play with it more this weekend to see if i can get it working again.

i'm wondering if there was a bad batch of the touchscreens.
