Are there some other improvements regarding speed or handling... whose can be important?
I made some changes to touchscreen.py, I have your mutlitouch.py config included in the new uimapper.tar.gz file so if you leave the conf file it should still work ok. I need to compare the two config files to see differences.
It might be laggy since its reading two events from the TS, maybe I can find a way to grab all events but not read, I will look into the 'grab' code?
Your TS is a much higher resolution to, maybe this makes a difference.
No speed improvements atm though, just bugs with resolution changes and calibration. Also been looking into PyPy for speed improvements, a little busy at work so I have less time atm.
I'll keep you posted...

Or, i have to do it tomorrow @ work right now

@brantje , user Markamc on github.....need to get into this really....please bear with me!
@ph87
You can get the new uimapper.tar.gz and extract and move etc from here atm
Terminal
wget --no-check -O uimapper.tar.gz "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B4lrG9aRe-8Malg2VkM0YW1CT28"
sudo mkdir -p /scripts && tar -zxvf uimapper.tar.gz -C /scripts
sudo mkdir -p /scripts && tar -zxvf uimapper.tar.gz -C /scripts
I have just added a input-grab.py (input-read.py stripped-down) this can be used just to grab the other events from the device, it's a quick/dirty solution to see if it improves performance since there is no need to read the events.
Just change the last input-read.py statements in the uimapper.conf file to input-grab.py instead.
Hope it improves performance for you, cheers

Will send you a pm with instructions when I wake up ツ.

RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - brantje - 8th Sep, 2013 11:33 PM
Finally had some spare time to update git.
Marc, will swype work?
RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - Markamc - 9th Sep, 2013 04:08 AM
Thanks Brantje, didn't finish the swipe functionality was looking into it, I could detect the condition but have not managed to inject an event.
RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - brantje - 10th Sep, 2013 09:51 PM
Will look into it, but for now, its not working with beta 2.
RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - mk01 - 11th Sep, 2013 01:20 AM
why? what changed ?
RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - Markamc - 11th Sep, 2013 10:28 AM
Great to see you here mk01, you must have sorted everything out everywhere else!!....unfortunately not for me! think I will stick to previous beta.
I now have instant touch-action, everything I touch gets action-ed immediately, previously, I could select and then action with a slightly longer press, controlled externally from a python program (also controlling the BTN_RIGHT and calibration) using uimapper. Now, I action everything with one touch , which makes it a problem.
This is a 'dirty' solution, unless a configurable driver including calibration can be provided for every TS, then I think a more 'open' solution would be preferable.
RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - mk01 - 11th Sep, 2013 11:44 AM
which modules are loaded ? I can check in kernel source tree, whether some defaults didn't change suddenly ?
3.9.y kernel tree it was ?
RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - Markamc - 11th Sep, 2013 06:11 PM
I am guessing this is a result of applying the new egalax patch from Andrei.
I believe the new patch solves the original 'single touch' (mousedrag) inside the xbmc code. I was forcing an extra event outside xbmc and controlling BTN_RIGHT/calibration.
Maybe others prefer it, but it means a 'touch press' now 'actions' a button immediately; it would be nice to include tiny a delay, to prevent accessing everything with a touch. For example, normal behavior on selecting the outermost item(left/right) would scroll the menu, now it accesses the item. Maybe Andrei could sort this??
RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - Markamc - 13th Sep, 2013 07:30 AM
Actually, the system seems ok, you get used to the sensitivity after a while and as long as you keep TOUCH-contact you can navigate the menu ok. Everything else works as normal, on release of BETA1.2 I will remove the extra BTN_TOUCH event So, I'm happy, finally...must be my age!
RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - mk01 - 15th Sep, 2013 09:57 AM
thanks for update.
in case of issues (and modification of kernel or modules would be needed) let us know.

With install.sh or another way?
RE: eGalax touchscreen calibration - Markamc - 15th Sep, 2013 09:27 PM
I have just tested the calibration again, I use the 'sh ts_calib.sh' script I originally used and all is ok.
