Hi All,
I have resurected this post as I am still struggling to get my eGalax screen going with TC.
I have done a lot of reading and testing and I now feel that the problem I have is because my touch screen does not work correctly with the USBHID driver.
After boot, I get a message in DMSEG indicating that the touch screen can not be set up correctly ( it reports an error of -32 in response to a generic-usb: probe). I think this is the driver trying to tell me that my touch screen is not HID aware.
I have read that others have run into similar problems.
If I install the input-tablet-touchscreen-2.6.33.3 drivers then it appears that the usbtouchscreen driver loads but it does not create the necessary /dev/input/eventX entry and hence touch does not work.
I think that this is due to an issue in the input- ..... code. From what I have read, it appears that the codse believes that the touch screen is HID aware (from info thet it reads from the device) and decides that the device should be handled by the usbhid driver.
This results in a stalemate and the touchscreen does not get serviced.
I do not have the skills to solve this little issue. Is there anyone out there that can help with a bit of code or instructions that I can use to get arround this problem.. I do not want to move away from the touch screen that I have.
Here is a link to some further information on the topic that I believe is relevant
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/6107/There are many touch screens out there that use this cheap eGalax technology. Solving this should provide options for many other TC users.
Cheers
Peter.
