Resume for eGalax driver with X under TCL.

generate (or copy the xorg.conf.vesa) the xorg.conf.
Save it with /opt/.filetool.lst.
->etc/X11/xorg.conf

Reboot (with backup)

Use the last egalax install script : setup.sh.

Add all files added (with path) in the /opt/.filetool.lst
->user/local/lib/X11/modules/input/egalax_drv.so
->usr/bin/TKCal
->user/local/eGalaxTouch32/eGalaxTouch
->user/local/eGalaxTouch32/TKCal/TKCal

Launching "eGalaxTouch" will allow you to configure driver.
launching "TKCal /dev/usb/hiddev0 Cal" will allow you to calibrate in case of USB touch screen.

Look xorg.conf to see where the eeti.param file is written.
Modify path to write it where you want ... if needed, ad it to filetool.lst.

Reboot with backup

It's done.
Daniel.

Dont work correctly for me:

1 Kill X
2 Xorg -configure
# cp /home/tc/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3 startX
4 add etc/X11/xorg.conf to /opt/.filetool.lst
5 backup & reboot
6 # ./setup.sh of egalax
7 choose option3 for usb
8 Launch eGalaxTouch and TKCal /dev/usb/hiddev0 Cal is not possible, require a reboot
9 add to /opt/.filetool.lst:
usr/local/lib/X11/modules/input/egalax_drv.so
usr/bin/TKCal
usr/local/eGalaxTouch32/eGalaxTouch
usr/local/eGalaxTouch32/TKCal/TKCal
10 backup & reboot
11 TKCal /dev/usb/hiddev0 Cal work but eGalaxTouch require a reinstall of driver to work
12 Reinstall ./setup.sh
13 Configure, ok touch work correctly, this is my final part of xorg.conf :
Code: [Select]
### Touch Configuration Beginning ###
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "EETI"
        Driver "egalax"
        Option "Device" "usbauto"
        Option "Parameters" "/var/lib/eeti.param"
        Option "ScreenNo" "0"
EndSection
### Touch Configuration End ###
14 Add /var/lib/eeti.param to /opt/filetool.lst
15 backup & reboot
16 Touch don't work correctly, require a reconfig with TKCal /dev/usb/hiddev0 Cal

You have an idea?
Thanks

Hi,

the difference i notice is : i put the eeti.param file on /mnt/sda1
(xorg.conf configuration)

the reason you need to calibrate is certaily this file access.


Try to modify that (and/or the order in .filetool.slt ?).

Daniel.

I tried to put the eeti.param in home (/home/tc/.touch/eeti.param) but on reboot the situation is unchanged.
I will try with the order of filetool.lst but show me yours?
Thanks

It would be great if you could submit an extension so others could use it  :)

Juanito,
I've never do that.
But i know i have to, because i will need it for others drivers.

I think to intel EMGD video driver ... and intel 945GSE if performances are better than the TCL driver.
But in that cases, it is hardware most specific ...

Daniel.

I made only one extension, for test, is circuslinux in the repository.
The problem is that I am still not very able and I do not have the knowledge to do it, but I also think that I would.

I created the package but I think only work for those who have my exact same netbook.
This package only works in "onboot.lst" and incorporated /etc/X11/xorg.conf and var /lib/eeti.param already configured, this may cause problems for those who must have those two files changed differently.
And then I ask a question (unless need another topic), /opt/.filetool.lst has priority on the packets, and this happens even when booting (xorg.conf overwritten at the right time)?

P.s. if you think may be helpful I share the package
