Hey all. I use gentoo linux and am trying to get my mdt-x7000(egalax touchscreen) to work. The cursor wont even move without/with xorg drivers. However it does mousedown wherever the cursor sits. If anyone has an suggestions / tips please let me know.. If someone who uses the same or similar hardware and gentoo, would you mind posting your kernel version, kernel config, xorg version, xorg config, evtouch version, etc... The more help the better.

Thanks in advance.

does it work on win? You may want to calibrate it under win, and then try under linux.
Mine had problem writing to eeprom using linux tools

Anyway, I ended up tossing touchscreen as I use keyboard with touchpad, and griffin powermate jog dial.

touchscreen was obsolete with my setup, and quality of image improved once I removed touchscreen
