[malloc69]

Howto install a Elo ET1537L-7CWA-1-NPB-G (touchscreen) in tinycore.

install these extensions:

Xorg-7.5.tcz
joystick.tcz


Make the file xorg.conf:

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf

edit the file:

--------- fichero: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ------------

Section "ServerLayaout"
...                                                 
   InputDevice "EloTouch" "CorePointer"
EndSection




Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "EloTouch"
  Driver "evdev"
  Option "Device"            "/dev/input/event4"     # put your device here
  Option "Calibration"       "550 3500 650 3400"     # "min-x max-x min-y max-y"
  Option "IgnoreRelativeAxes "1"
  Option "InvertY"           "1"
EndSection

----------------------------------------------------


add the file xorg.cong to the file /opt/.filetool.lst:

...
etc/X11/xorg.conf       # without the first /



Reboot the system using backup


  ----===== HOWTO CALIBRATE THE TOUCHSCREEN =====----

We can use the program "evtest" from que extension joystick.tcz to calibrate the touchscreen:

Step 1. -> Load the extension: tce-load -i joystick.tcz   

Step 2. -> Run: sudo evtest /dev/input/event4     # put your devide here

Using X and Y values to assign to the Option "Calibration" of the xorg.conf file.

I hope this can be useful for someone.
