eGalax touchscreen calibration

[Markamc]

Hi

@TobyM

You can install xbian1a5 and then update to the nightly version. It should work ok, if you add the calibration file.

You can build on the pi directly following the instructions here, if you follow this guide carefully, having already installed xbian, then it should work in xbian 1alpha5, this way you can edit the code directly before compilation.

Not found a good cross-comp how-to yet, still learning, think the team uses QEMU.

Tried ubuntu (virtualbox) too. ATM, I just leave the compilation going overnight for first time, then minor changes take less time, using PUTTY SSH.

hope it helps

@robosphere

try sudo apt-get install evtest

type "evtest" for on-screen info

or "evtest-capture"

it should generate some info about your device in a file , "evtest-capture.xml"

you can check if your touchscreen is functioning on a kernel level

good luck
