Reply With Quotenasa,
what did you have to do to get touchscreen working? My mouse cursor seems to be in the upper right.
Howdy,
I am trying to create a xorg.conf file to work with my eby701 screen... The monitor doesn't seem to support EDID and/or DDC communications over VGA, so if you want more *correct* modelines you have to add them yourself (or so I think). The xorg.conf file I have come up with (leaving sections I want to work automatically out) follows:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
DisplaySize 152 91
VertRefresh 60-72
# 800x480 71.50 Hz (CVT) hsync: 35.96 kHz; pclk: 36.25 MHz
Modeline "800x480_72.00" 36.25 800 832 904 1008 480 483 493 503 -hsync +vsync
Option "PreferredMode" "800x480_72.00"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "945GM/GMS"
Driver "intel"
Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
Option "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Primary Screen"
Monitor "Monitor0"
Device "945GM/GMS"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "800x480_72.00"
EndSubsection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Primary Screen"
EndSection
Somethings I have noted: it seems the EDID option doesn't work any more, so I am unsure how to have xorg not try (it's pointless). And xrandr shows the following:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 60.0*
800x600 60.3 56.2
848x480 60.0
640x480 59.9 59.9
LVDS1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 60.0*+ 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9
720x400 85.0
640x400 85.1
640x350 85.1
TV1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
This confuses me as I am connected via VGA, so why do I have LVDS show up?
I've attached the X.org.log file for further info...
As always, I appreciate the help.
nasa,

Three steps...
1. run (included in post) xinput_calibrator_x11 to find out your calibration points
2. Create a .rules file, mines looks like thus:
ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="xorg_touchscreen_end"
KERNEL!="event*", GOTO="xorg_touchscreen_end"
ATTRS{product}!="3M 3M USB Touchscreen - EX II", GOTO="xorg_touchscreen_end"
ENV{x11_options.calibration}="1874 14571 2344 13411"
ENV{x11_options.InvertY}="on"
LABEL="xorg_touchscreen_end"
3. Add/edit a .conf file in xorg.conf.d (I edited the 05-evtouch.conf file) and add the following:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "3M"
MatchProduct "3M"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
#Driver "usbtouchscreen"
Option "InvertY" "on"
Option "Calibration" "1874 14571 2344 13411"
EndSection
hmmm... after reviewing this, step #2 may not be necessary. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's not -- must check. I'll leave it here, just in case. Note: the calibration numbers come from running the app (and it's the actual app, not a txt file).
nasa, is your touchscreen egalax based? Seems like there is a regression in the kernel for egalax based touchscreens...

No,
It's a 7' capacitive touch screen (3m) over a lilliput eby-701 monitor.
What problems are you having?
i think this should work for you too. look for my last post on that thread. http://forums.openice.org/viewtopic....t=784&start=15
