I have an eGalax touchscreen which I installed using the xserver-xorg-input-evtouch package. Now touching the screen makes the mouse pointer move in all sorts of random directions.
What I want, of course, is for the mouse pointer to move to the point where I touched the screen. Typically this is called 'calibration'. Maybe there's a program to run or something, but I can't find it. how do I calibrate my touch screen?
I'm running Jaunty 9.04 so there is no 'System -> Administration -> Calibrate Touchscreen' program.
I've installed in Lenny with the 2.6.26-2-686 kernel, the xorg-xserver-input-evouch package, I've edited the xorg.conf, as described in this howto [URL]. It works to the where I am trying to start the calibrate.sh script. When I start it, the X screen pops up, but in the console I get a message, that failed loading font '*-helvetica-*-12-*'. After that the calibration tool dies.
I have a touchscreen (DELL model)which is working with windows xp (with windows drivers for touchscreen installed). but i want to use mandriva 2008 on the touchscreen, which requires drivers of mandriva 2008 only. I have been trying very hard but in vain.
I have a macbook pro with an Nvidia 9600m gt card. default colors look nothing like they do on my mac. I would like to calibrate the colors. How would one do this in Ubuntu? I have looked around and seen Xgamma, Argyll, and display calibrator. These programs do not work, mainly the display calibrator gui. I see Nvidia xserver has a color correction function, and that looks good. However, how do you use it? I can tweak colors but they end up looking incorrect still.
I am looking for a detailed step by step tutorial about how to calibrate a monitor, which are aimed at newbies who don't have much prior knowledge. On the mac it was incredibly simple; anything like this on Ubuntu?
Since upgrading to the latest kernel the other day, I get on bootup the following message
Warning calibrate APIC_Clock: The APIC timer calibration may be wrong.
My system clock runs way too slowly and after I leave my virtual machine turned on over night, the clock is way behind...I have even had it set to sync with NTP.. how to correct this? Resetting the clock in the GUI does not help...
Very annoying because the clock is always wrong timing...I did not get this warning message before the 10.1 kernel upgrade...
i have installed evtouch on a fresh install of slackware 13 where i did a full install.. i installed evtouch using this website [URL]
the error is:
Quote:
No evtouch capable device found, if you are sure you have an evtouch capable touchscreen, mail the resulting file of the command "lshal > evtouch_hal.out" to the ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com mailing list, so support for your device can be added.
this made me think that this was a ubuntu only thing?
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 use many different terminals during the course of my working day and frequently have to adjust my interaction to each unique type. For example, when interacting with bash via my work gnome-terminal I can use ctrl-arrow to skip over words, like most test editors allow. On the other hand, my xterm at home can't interpret this action and spits out a chunk of binary gibberish whenever I use this command.
I think that the behaviour of bash is consistent, it's just that the xterms treat keyboard events differently, depending on their configuration. Can someone confirm for me that this correct?, if yes, how can I calibrate the terminal to treat my keystrokes in the manner I desire?
You have probably seen the TV shows and films with the law enforcement agency, or the team at "Leverage" have a large screen with other side screens.
I don't have a holographic display, or even a 60" touchscreen, but I do have a TV, and a couple of computers running 10.10 and 11.04.
What I would like to do, using a mouse instead of a touchscreen, is "push" photos, videos, or dossiers on enemy agents to another screen or phone.
I would imagine it to be something along the lines of hot zones on the desktop, so that if I flick an item to, say, the right of the screen, it will leave my desktop and pop up on the desktop of the (networked, but separate and different) computer to my right, and if I drag / flick an item to the top centre it will Bluetooth it to my phone (which I'll set up to automatically accept any files from "my.desktop.homelan".
I had something a little similar with, I think, Compiz, in that if I flicked an item to the right it would dump it onto virtual desktop 2 (of four horizontal ones).
What search terms would I use in Google or Ubuntu Help to get me started? I can compile, but I'd rather not, as I'm not very good at it, and I can edit .cfg files as long as there are plain English descriptors ("Enable_Feature_Foo=1" "Fave_Place=/home/Me/fave/" etc).
I am trying to get my 3M touchscreen to work in Ubuntu. Presently, I have the usbtouchscreen module loaded -- which results in touches being recognized, but the y-axis is backwards (ie: if I press at the top, it shows up at the bottom). Given that hal is depreciated, the only place I could note for configuration options the xorg.conf.d directory. But, I'm unsure what needs to be added there.
Additionally, I am confused over usbtouchscreen vs evdev vs evtouch -- which is supposed to be used at this point?
since Ubuntu 9.04 I try to get my USB-Touchscreen from Faytch running. With some changes in the setup.sh of the drivers that can be downloaded from faytech.de I finally got it running under 9.04. Changes I made were blacklist path and since no xorg.conf exists anymore I started with a 8.04 Live-CD and copied the xorg.conf from there. not nice but worked. Now with 10.04 new drivers are available but (still only for 8.04). Did the same hack with the xorg.conf (blacklist path was already updated). So the driver and touch stuff works even without any driver whenever I hit the touch screen (anywhere / even in the middle) I always get a mouse click in the top left corner. and that keeps on even after installing the driver.
So without driver I get a click in the upper left corner and with driver installed and calibrated I get a click where I have my finger on the screen (that is what I want) AND a click in the upper left corner (THAT IS WHAT I NOT WANT). I think Ubuntu recognizes the touchscreen as a kind of "unspezified" input device and does a click whenever a touch-event occurs. How can I deactivate that behavior without disabling all the USB??
My english is not very good, sorry for that. Well. I have a question: It is can be possible to make a computer without TouchScreen Technology like one that if have it?.
I am a Windows user to, and i been searching and i found it can be possible do that, but this is only on windows with the Wii Remote of Nintendo Wii Console.
My question is part of this, it could be possible do this on Ubuntu like on windows?
I have a Toughbook CF-74 with a "Fujitsu USB Touch Panel" (how lsusb used to enumerate it). It used to work fairly well up until Karmic (couldn't get the calibration perfect around the edges), but it's just not there anymore in 10.04. I can only assume it's a kernel thing, because I tried some test installs of Debian Testing and OpenSUSE 11.3 (both with newer kernels than Lucid) and it's not there either.
I tried to manually load a kernel module for a different Fujitsu touch screen (from an actual Fujitsu laptop), but it didn't seem to detect anything.
There's not a whole lot of info out there about running Linux on a CF-74, so I think I'm in kind of in uncharted territory with some of this stuff.
How to get the touchscreen working in Ubuntu 10.10 on Archos 9? I have so far managed, through reading various threads on various forums, to get the screen working as a touchpad with the axis inverted and flipped. The optical track-pad and mouse buttons on the left are also working. The eGalaxTouch application loads but gives me a message "No Touch Controller Found" before going into an about screen.
Had it working in Ubuntu and now Ive switched to openSUSE and loving it! Much better than Ubuntu. But I cant get the touchscreen working. Please help...Ive tried to get it working but assume I have done nothing please. Im semi-intelligent when it comes to linux but most of my experience has come from Ubuntu.Im kernel 2.6.34-12 and using openSUSE 11.3 (32 bit)
How to get a older crt touchscreen working. I need it to work for a handicapped child. When I check the device it seems slackware detects it as a mac emulation mouse and I installed egalaxy drivers. It seems something is right, when I touch the screen the cursor goes to the right top corner and moves a bit when touching the screen.
I've recently got a tablet pc and I've got it nicely set up with Jolicloud - an Ubuntu derivative like Mint - but I can't hide the mouse cursor in Gnome. Now, I've read so much about tips and tricks on how to hide the cursor with terminal, X and gconf tricks in my Googling, but NOTHING works!
How do I do this definitely? Edit: Unclutter is not what I want, nor is changing the root X cursor satisfactory, because it is overridden by whatever toolkit you are using.
add a button too my gnome-panel for a compiz plugin action. Is there a gnome-applet or something that does that? example.. win+E initiates the expo plugin for compiz, and add a button for that on the gnome-panel?
Does Fedora supports Touchscreen computers? I am planning buy a new desktop computer and there are several models that come with touchscreen, I don't really care about this feature , I just want to know if Fedora can operates under a touchscreen system. If Fedora doesn't support touchscreen systems, Is there any plan to integrate this option in a near future?
i did some investigation and came accross mouseemu. however it seems like mouseemu is no longer part of the suse repositories. also its just available for ppcis there any way to have a behaviour like ctrl+click + rightclick?
I'm posting from my brand new out of the box HP Pavilion dv6, great machine, but I'm having some hardware issues.My touchscreen isn't working.As well, my touchpad mouse isn't functioning correctly. The left/right click buttons are treated as part of the touch pad, which makes clicking things very difficult. As well, it doesn't appear to have a right click function at all
I've just bought a new notebook and wanted to install Debian Wheezy. I bought an ASUS N550JV and since I installed Debian I've had a really bad time with Windows, UEFI boot loaders, GPT discs, touchscreens, nvidia, bumblebee, bluetooth and so on. After a few days, I've been able to boot Windows and Debian, however I'm quite unhappy with how Debian is handling the hardware.
Right now, my worst concern is the touchscreen. I don't really care whether it works or not but it is really messing with the OS. I installed Debian stable which comes with the 3.2.57 kernel. The touchscreen didn't work at all and I didn't really care until I run dmesg. Each 2 seconds I get spammed with the following text added to the dmesg output:
Code: Select all[ 31.901696] xhci_queue_intr_tx: 74 callbacks suppressed [ 33.826890] usb 1-10: USB disconnect, device number 12 [ 34.098270] usb 1-10: new full-speed USB device number 13 using xhci_hcd [ 34.116166] usb 1-10: New USB device found, idVendor=04f3, idProduct=010c [ 34.116176] usb 1-10: New USB device strings: Mfr=4, Product=14, SerialNumber=0 [ 34.116181] usb 1-10: Product: Touchscreen

I install Fedora 12 in my EEEpc with a eGalax touchscheen but the touchscreen does not work. It seem to be detected at some point, but when I touch it, nothing happen. Here is the lshal output:
Is it because hal have been deprecated? If so, will xorg.conf restart to work or it will be rejected in favor of hal like on Ubuntu? The touchscreen is autodetected by other distributions.
After switching over to linux on my desktop PC (ubuntu) I would like te learn more about linux.I'm trying to get an ELO touchscreen working on an IBM thin client. At the moment I managed to boot it from a CF card.(normally it boots kernel.2200 from a host PC but to avoid interference with the operating system, a flight simulator, I want to try it first with the system booted from a flash card) I tried to install the 32 bit Linux driver from the ELO-website but did not succeed.I was following the manual.I managed to extract the files and copied them to the right directory but when I type in "make" the command is not recognised. I don't know if it would ever work, but when I tried "make" on my Ubuntu machine I get error #2?! What does that mean.
The board is an intel chipset running a 600 mhz sempron. There is no hard drive. There is a 4 gb sd card and 512 mb of ram. I am considering using true crypt to hide the real OS and actual gaming roms. The distro must have touchscreen support. I have a prototype board running a standard Puppy distro but it does not seem robust enough. A single power cut usually corrupts the installation requiring "puppy pfix=fsck" or heavier command to restore it. I can't see an average kiosk attendant managing this with multiple machines. I need a very small compact robust kernel capable of hiding another tiny compact robust kernel that will run the games. They themselves require very little in terms of vid resolution or processing power.
Ever since I upgraded, the touchscreen on my Fujitsu Lifebook P1610 no longer works. On Karmic, it worked out of the box without installing any extra packages.
I see xserver-xorg-input-fpit in Synaptic Package Manager but it conflicts with netbook remix packages for some reason so I haven't tried installing it.
I didn't see anything in dmesg about the touchscreen but there are Xorg errors:
Code: ... (II) config/udev: Adding input device Serial Wacom Tablet (/dev/ttyS0) (**) Serial Wacom Tablet: Applying InputClass "Wacom serial class" (II) LoadModule: "wacom" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so (II) Module wacom: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[Code]....
I'm not sure if it's supposed to be recognized as a wacom tablet or what, and I'm also not sure how it used to be configured when it worked in Karmic.
