Hi all,

Thought I'd share this with you in case anyone else has been having issues driving a SeForm SEF800-TPC(w) 8" vga touch screen from Fedora Core 6 (or xorg)

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "SeForm"
ModeLine "800x480" 36.769 800 848 896 1120 480 508 511 525
HorizSync 25-75
VertRefresh 50-75
EndSection

The timings above seem to work nicely for 800x480.

Has taken weeks for me to get to this! Still waiting on a suitable response from SeForm tech although I do now have screens with an upgraded firmware thanks to my perseverance.

Feel free to ask for more info. I'll update this thread if and when I get more from SeForm.

In addition, my system specs are:

EPIA CN10000E-RS (CN700 based), 512mb DDR2 ram, 40 gb ruggedised HDD, EDR2 Bluetooth dongle.

Fedora Core 6 2.6.20 kernel

EPIA board has BIOS rev.1.07 - These boards are capable of 16:9 resolutions, but probably only with this bios.

It's awesome that you already know what you do! But by any chance did you get your touch screen pointer to work? I cant seem to switch the X and Y coordinate mapping, and it's killing me to know how. I've been searching for three days already, so any help you can offer would really make my day. Thanks!

for X Y swap, you should really re-compile the kernel, and modify/fix touchscreen driver, but there's xserver config directive swapxy that should work too.
