touchscreen as a mouse for tinycore5.3?
« on: June 05, 2014, 05:32:30 AM »
Following this post:
For setting Xorg itself up, the info file should have clear instructions. You'd need though to compile the microtouch driver, as these rare(ish) input drivers weren't included taking space.

Xvesa doesn't support touch screens, unless they show up as a mouse, in which case they are supported by anything.

How can I make my touch-screen show up as a mouse?

Have you tried using the Xorg-7.7 extension without xorg.conf to see what happens?

Hello Juanito,

I haven't understood exactly what to do.
you mean that I can install Xorg-7.7 with no need of a driver for my touchscreen such as touchscreen2003 or touchscreen 2007?
It will let me use the touchscreen?

Thsnks

I don't have any touchscreen to test with, but if you load the Xorg-7.7 and input-tablet-touchscreen-3.8.13-tinycore extensions, exit to the prompt and then "startx", things might just work on their own.

If not, you could post the relevant parts of /var/log/Xorg.0.log so we can try to help.

How to check if it works as a mouse:

Load input-tablet-touchscreen-3.8.13-tinycore, exit to prompt, "cat /dev/input/mice" and touch the screen. If you see data, it emulates a mouse.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

..would seem to indicate that things should work - did you try googling to see if an xorg.conf snippet is needed for your specific hardware?
