Thread: Linux + Touch screen problem.

been so busy, never got around to it yet. I'll update once i do.

I am also having the same problem with touch screen calibration:
1. No matter where I touch on the screen, the pointer seems to be bound to the top-left quadrant of the screen.
2. The Axis appear to be swapped. Going up moves the pointer right. Going right moves the pointer down.

Tried withoutluck:
1. TouchKit Drivers from eetl website.
2. Touch Calibration Program from "add remove programs"
3. Tried as many different touch applications that were avail in synaptic pkg mngr.
4. Tried the modprobe swapxy command

Setup:
1. Brand New eby701 tft
2. Brand new intel intel D945GCLF2
3. Clean install of Ubuntu 8.10, with all updates.
4. xorg 7.4, kernel 2.6+

I think xorg 7.4 is the problem. Someone please help! I just started my ubuntu carpc project and the last thing I want to do is resort to using winxp!

edit: I found a thread which had a fix for me:
