Thread: Difficulties with eGalaxTouch driver and VM70

Any ideas?

is it a egalax based controller (type in lsusb in a terminal)? Alternatively, you can uninstall the egalax driver and install the evtouch driver and run ev_calibrate (i think?). to calibrate. I'm fed up with the egalax driver and am about to try evtouch again... hopefully it's improved since the last time i tried it.

I've been playing with this and I here's what I've found out, maybe it will help (or maybe not )

lsusb identifies the Egalax touchscreen device but only every other time I run it.

I got to the calibration screen finally by changing the "Device" option from "usbauto" to a specific event number.

But there's still no touch capability

The skipclick option is not present

I'm no whiz at this and this just about exhausts my bag o tricks. Could it be I just haven't picked the right event number? Should the Egalax device be showing up in lsusb every time?

Yes it should be showing up in lsusb every time. And the device event number will change on every reboot. Odd that usbauto couldn't find it. That may be some of what I'm experiencing . my frustration against the egalax driver grows...
