Can anyone recommend a Touch Screen Monitor that is compatible with linux, are most touch screens compatible? I'm assuming they would just use the touch input the same as a mouse.
I'm not looking for multi-touch or anything extra-fancy.
I dual boot Opensuse and Windows 7.
Both OS install correct graphic driver.
But I find that windows 7 display better color than opensuse,
you can feel the different by eyes.
Why?
I'm a new user and recently installed ubuntu on an old samsung laptop, during the installation process i couldnt see anything on the screen and came to the conclusion that ubuntu's default resolution was different to that of the laptop screen so i plugged it into my TV and sure enough it worked however i still only have a picture on the tv, ive tried all the resolutions available in the 'monitors' box but nothing, does anyone know how to fix this?

Code:
xinit /usr/bin/fluxbox -geometry 800x480+0+40 -display :1.0 -- /usr/bin/X :1 -novtswitch -sharevts -layout USBScreen -dpi 75 >/tmp/dl1.log &
sleep 10
x2x -east -to :1 &
The "-layout" option references a ServerLayout in xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"

Move you finger from left-to-right, the cursor moves from right-to-left. Tried "InvX", "InvertX", "SwapX", but so far it looks like evtouch is ignoring all options. Xinput list-props only shows "enabled" as a property. Actually, even if this worked, the touch pad would still be a problem. Right now the touch pad input goes to the currently active screen. Ideally I'd like the touch pad to generate x-values to the right of the main screen so that it controls the USB screen, not the main screen. Might be an option that controls this, except evtouch ignores all options.
Suspend kills the USB bus If the PC goes into suspend while the USB display is active, when it returns all USB devices are dead; USB monitor, mouse, keyboard. Hard reset to clear. Also, if the USB display is idle long enough, it turns off the display. Moving the mouse over to that display then causes a USB failure and a hard reset. Might be cool to use it as an out-board screen, but not if the application menus don't work, the touch pad is backwards, and it locks up the system...
I must say I've spent many nights trying to get this touch screen going on ubuntu but with no luck. Does anyone have any general step by step instructions or is there any sites I can go on. I have a Acer t230h and the furthest Ive got with it is typing something into the terminal and getting out aload of strange looking symbols and stuff. I presume that was in the right direction but i forget what I pressed... something like 'lbus' but longer I think. I have the touchscreen info plugged in with a usb lead so what ever their called in ubuntu might be a help. another thing I did find something related to the screen in the /dev/ folder by plugin it in and out a couple of times and spotting what file was missing and coming back but when I run it in terminal this is what happens - evan@ubuntu:~$ cat /dev/hidraw0 cat: /dev/hidraw0: Permission denied
View 7 Replies View Relatedi have just updated my system to the new 11.04 on my fujitsu siemens T5010, which supports both touch via a wacom pen and finger touch.It is nice to be able to use my finger on the screen as i can in windows, but it is a pain that i can't rest my hand on the screen while using the pen to draw something. Do you know how i could temporarily disable the touchscreen for anything but my pen? A keyboard command to disable/enable it would be great

Can anybody point me in the right direction on this issue?
I have checked and as of right now can not find any topic on my problem. I purchased and installed a usb touch screen for my EEE PC 900 4GB hard drive. My problem is that my computer will not recognize the screen. When I go into the Systems Test, The USB touch is recognized, but that is it. Do I have to download drivers? (Even for a usb?) I went into the bios, and enabled the web-cam, which I have used for power. (I think) If any one can offer me some advice, I will be forever grateful. I would love to have this up and running for my husbands birthday, which is in 2 weeks. Could the problem be with the size of the hard drive? I am 98% sure I have it installed correctly. I have followed the instructions that were supplied.

If I'm watching ..... on monitor 1 in fullscreen and working on monitor 2, clicking anything in monitor 2 kills full-screen in monitor 1. Is this something that can be fixed somehow or is it a hardwired "feature"?
I am having problems getting my external monitor to work. When I plug in the monitor, both the laptop screen and the external monitor go black. When I unplug the monitor, the laptop screen works again.
When I startup with the external monitor plugged in, neither screen works or teh computer hangs or something.
I have had the external monitor going on a couple of occasions. I did manage to configure my monitors through System Settings > Display. I turned off the laptop monitor as I just want to use the external. But after rebooting, things didn't work.
I have a Thinkpad E420, Fedora 15
I am having problems with the refresh rate if the screen. In the refresh mode of the monitor in the monitor options have only one option 60Hz. I have LG 24 + ATI Radon 3870, and have already installed the ATI driver via Ubuntu download center.

Also I noticed that the when i go to System > Preferences>Display, it shows me UNKOWN MONIOR.
However, if I got to System>Administration>Display and enter the su password, it shows me correct monitor and the graphics driver.
I am not sure if my original is related to the Unknown Monitor.
I also tried to install Nvidia driver but it crashed the xserver and I had remove the driver.
My Monitor is LG 700E and Graphics card is from intel. as I am not able watch any video.
I'm trying to get a touch screen working with Ubuntu 10.04LTS (32bit) //changed to 32 bit -it is a serial touchsceen, connected at /dev/ttyS0 ,i know that works because I get garbage in the terminal when I enable it. -before the screen used a 3m driver (I believe) in XP.
My knowledge of Linux is passive so I generally pick up something when I need it. To get this working I came accross a lot of tutorials (a lot outdated a bit), I'm still at a loss to get this work.
I'm not sure where to put linux drivers (/usr/ or /dev/?) most tutorials kind of skip over that part. I have tried editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf unsuccessfully. I'm not sure what the syntax for that is supposed to be.
I have a Fujitsu P1610 convertible running 9.10. I only like the two bars visible when I need them otherwise they just take up valuable screen space, especially on a 8.9" screen.
My problem is I cannot make the bars come up by moving the cursor via my finger. It works fine if I move the pointer via a mouse but that is not an option when in tablet mode. How can I make them come up when I move the cursor to their location via my finger?
I have followed literally half a dozen How-to's, and none work. The touch screen works like a mouse (I can "click" on things), but no two-finger functionality

I've tried all the system settings and nothing helps. It works fine with Windows XP Professional.
View 2 Replies View Related trying all sorts of xorg.conf settings and searching out drivers. Out of the box, Debian moves the cursor when I touch the screen and move my finger across it. The only problem is that it doesn't process it correctly. It is moving faster, so it doesn't stay under it. It also doesn't land under my finger when I touch the screen.I am running a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29.Driver I am trying: evtouchHere is my current xorg.conf: Code: # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server

Why a usb touch screen device is not created on /dev? It can be detected on lsusb but no particular dev location like /dev/input/event0 or something like that. I've already updated my kernel for 5.6. do i need a driver to be able for this device to have a dev? No calibration tool works on this hardware. Same also on my tm u220 usb printer. It can be detected but no /dev/usb/lp0 being created.

Is it possible to disable composite for one monitor only and keep it for the other. Or at lease is it possible to have compiz for one monitor only and disable it for the other.

I have an HP Pavilion tx2000 tablet, wich is working perfectly in Ubuntu 10.04. The touch and the stylus works out of box, and i'm using the script that Favux has posted to rotate my screen and i've installed the wacomrotate daemon, wich is working too. Now, I've two questions: How to calibrate it? The stylus is ok, but the touch isn't calibrated. In Karmic, I was using wacomcpl and xsetwacom, but neither of them detect my tablet now (in 9.10, Hal was used to detect the tablet, now it's xserver-xorg-input-wacom).
[code]...
It's possible to set up the automatic screen rotation, like in Windows (the screen rotates automaticaly in tablet position)?
I have found a few topics that touch on the problem I'm having but the solution won't work for me.
I am running a 800x480 desktop with Gnome, many windows are cut off at the bottom and I cannot click on the buttons. The standard reply to this problem seems to be hold alt and left click drag the window up.
That works just fine, the twist here is I'm accessing the desktop through a touch-screen (via vnc on an android phone) and I don't have an alt button to hold, dragging is also kind of tough.. I realize it may just be the limitations of my device, but it can't hurt to ask!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know this is niche application, so I don't have high hopes of a solution, but I'm throwing it out there anyway. My Wife is diabetic and uses the One Touch Ultra Mini to test her blood sugar. We keep track of it on paper but her new endocrinologist insists we MUST bring the meter at each visit so they can hook it up to their computer and pull the numbers from it. I want the doctor to have more than just the readings, though I can't force her to look at anything else, because we not only track the readings themselves, but diet, exercise, medications, etc. so I want to pull the readings from the meter myself and add the other relevant information, then submit that to the doctor.
The "kit" includes the cable and windows software. They do not support anything but windows, not even mac. In fact, they don't even list Windows 7 as a supported OS, so I don't expect them to begin supporting any other OS any time soon. I'd like to know if anyone has been able to connect one of these meters to a Linux box and get any data from it. Raw data is fine as long as it can be determined what's what. I have XP running in a VM, so I can probably make that work, but I'd really like to be able to use the meter in Ubuntu.
I have bought a device with 10.1" capacitive touch screen. I have tried OpenSuse Milestone 5 (future release). It works great, but...My capacitive touch screen positioning cursor correctly but when I touch screen, it is like I clicking mouse for 9 times. One touch of icon of a program... and it opens it 9 times. I looked in hardware information in yast and the name of my touch panel in the following:
UNITEC Touch Panel (Win7)
Vendor number: 205437
It works good, but not useful, because I cannot really touch any icon with my finger, it will open it 9 times...
I've searched all over the internet for a usable touch screen friendly music player and have found nothing for Ubuntu. It doesn't matter to me if it's just a skin over an existing well known player or a complete application written from the ground up. This is for a car pc. I have been on MP3Car and I have still not found anything usable for GNU linux. The only component I need to complete my project is a good touch screen music player.
