Saw this and it worked to fix my touchscreen. This is not my tip, it's from another user on the boards, but he seems to be inactive for the moment

Lilliput TouchKit problem solved!

Greetings,
I just got my Lilliput 7" touchscreen, and had a problem with the drivers and software that was shipped with it. After spending (wasting) a few hours here on the board, reading posts about how good or bad it is, and how much better the Xenarc screen is, I found a solution that may help a few people.

The problem: Computer locks up during installation of the TouchKit software, usually after scanning the com ports. It only takes the work of a few minutes to see that a lot of people are having this problem. I hope this helps...

The solution:
1. After banging my head on the table trying to uninstall the bad drivers, I finally did a system restore. I tried deleting the INF files and registry entries, but the "Found new hardware" after reboot would not go away. I hate to resort to system restore, but that was my only option at that point.

2. I downloaded the latest software from eGalax (the authors of the program) at http://www.egalax.com.tw Click on downloads and find your operating system. It seems to me that most people with this problem are using Windows XP.

3. I installed the software without the hardware connected. After reboot, I connected the hardware, and let windows automatically configure the drivers.

It all works fine now. I hope this will help some of you that have had a similar problem.

Have a nice day!

more troubleshooting tips:
if you have no power going to your lilliput (eg led doesn't even light up)
either the eggs is screwed up, power it from your power supply; or the smaller ribbon cable is not aligned correctly, it needs to be positioned all the way to the right if the screen is facing up.
if you have a white screen
the larger ribbon cable is not in all the way/correctly, for my lilliput with the pins on the same side, the pins are face up on both connectors
if you broke of the retention clip for the ribbon cable
use tape/hotglue/toothpick method

if the colors are off (eg my screen had a bluish tint to it)
check the soldered connections on the board, or check to see if the pins on the din connector are bent; check the color settings on the lilliput menu

Please update the driver link:
The correct link should be

Thanks

8" disassembled pics. I'll post measurements up this evening. Click each pic for a larger version.

Pretty easy to take apart - 4 screws for the back of the case, small tabs in the top to pop out (just like the 7", it sounds like), ribbon cables, etc. The 4-wire connector on the side is for the touchscreen and is a ***** to disconnect. The 2-wire on the other side is a little tough to get to with big fat fingers.

I wrote a guide on how to get the eGalax drivers working with Debian GNU/Linux and it's relatively general so it's applicable to other linux distributions. I know a link has been posted elsewhere on the forums but hopefully this will be more visibile. The guide is located at http://tzilla.is-a-geek.com/articles/egalax . All questions, comments, corrections and suggestions are welcome... along with criticisms.

NO QUESTIONS!

Would be best if you email the store and find out and then post the answer here!

And delete your post above while you are at it

Those measurements would be really handy.

Also does anyone have measurements of the new 629 series lilliput? Those dimensions digitalww posted for the 619 are excellent.

Does someone have the measurements of the 8" screen? Like this:

I want to see if that could fit.

Edit: I found it:
