Lilliput screen on Ubuntu

**yam125** · 10-24-2008, 02:18 PM

Installed Hardy and picked up everything except the touchscreen. If it touch the screen it will click where ever the mouse is and wont move the cursor. I have tried unpacking and making but it will just continue to give me errors. Has anyone installed the screen on Ubuntu?

not used one of them, but i've set up a few touchscreens under ubuntu. What type is it? i.e. wacom, evtouch or whatever?

i think he was asking what driver it uses. It probably would use either evtouch or egalax from my experience. And until evtouch issues a new release for xserver 1.3/1.4 I can't recommend it...

**yam125** · 10-26-2008, 12:26 AM

uh... the one in the box it is called TouchKit

**tripzero** · 10-26-2008, 11:26 AM

in that case it wants to use the egalax driver.

don't use the ones in the box, go here for more up-to-date:

I believe hardy runs xserver 1.3 (check with a dpkg -l | grep xserver. Download that one, extract it somewhere, and run setup.sh as root (or sudo). Setup takes care of the rest. Afterthat, you can run /usr/bin/TouchKit and calibrate it (if needed).

good luck.

Basically everything i tried previously i threw out the window.

I reinstalled the touchscreen cal tool in the ubuntu Repositories then i was on the ubuntu-mobile mailing list:

ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com

and i was helped out by a guy on the list and i found out about the fdi files (im kind of a noob) and i tweeked it to fit.

opened /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/50-eGalax.fdi

changed the max/min value (this took the longest to realize somethimg obvious)
after restarting X 50 billion times here is the final file for

Code:

      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

the rotate needed to be clockwise
and i didnt swap x or y

the MAX abslt edge is is 2000 the min edge is 0
then i bumbed it inside so to give me some room to touch it. still needs a bit of adjustment

I should be given a FREE distro of Ubuntu for doing this. (a joke)
