USB Touch screen - brantje - 12th Jan, 2013 08:13 PM
Hello,
I got an 7" touch screen from my dad.
The output is usb, so i connected it to the pi.
Did an lsusb
Output:
Terminal
xbian@xbian:~# sudo lsusb
[sudo] password for xbian:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0eef:0001 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen
xbian@xbian:~#
I searched a bit, seems the thing is well kown in the touch screen world.
http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=564
The monitor is an 700YYV-P1 TFT LCD Monitor with VGA and AV inputs
At the moment i'm using RCA, need a converter from HDMI to vga.
Research shows that touchkitusb and evdev module's are needed in the kernel, which are currently missing.
Any tips / hints / patches how i can get this to work?
If we can add touchscreen support to xbian, then xbian would be the best choise to use it in a car

Here is a guide:

It's in German, but perhaps you can get the most important information out of it.
There seems to be 4 big steps:
- download and install driver
- recompile kernel
- do the calibration
- add the calibration data to X11

Instead of step two (recompile kernel) let me know what modules you need to i can compile them for you, will be a lot faster.

Ive been trying for over a week now to get xbian working with a desktop so I can install and calibrate my touch screen. I am completely new to linux and I am really frustrated now. If a working image could be made available I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks

Why not use raspbian for that? We don't support x-windows.
RE: USB Touch screen - Allycat - 13th Jan, 2013 09:53 PM
Xbmc wont install with raspbian.
RE: USB Touch screen - CurlyMo - 13th Jan, 2013 10:06 PM
X-windows and XBMC don't work well of the RPi, due to lack of performance, so why do you want both?
RE: USB Touch screen - Allycat - 13th Jan, 2013 10:14 PM
I dont know how to calibrate the touchscreen from the command line the Touchscreen

Allycat do you have the touch part working on xbian?
Linux driver here: http://210.64.17.162/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm
Kernel 2.6.23 Downward << This one we need, but then we need xwindow -_-

We need to do this:
@CurlyMo can you do this to include the right module into the kernel:
Quote:before compiling, in menuconfig we include
usbtouchscreen module, which supports this touch screen film. Here is where do we need to find this module.
Device Drivers -> Input device support -> Generic input layer (needed for keyboard, mouse, …) -> Touchscreens (INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN [=y]) -> TOUCHSCREEN_USB_EGALAX [=y]
Then we can get the touchscreen to work with xbian
RE: USB Touch screen - brantje - 23rd Feb, 2013 07:18 PM
@CurlyMo, since i've installed the module, i've got reboots during HD playback.
Testing it now
edit: was not the kernel package, was a slightly corrupted sd
