eGalax touchscreen calibration

[Markamc]

Thanks TobyM,

I'm sure like the other keen "contributors" that everyone here would love your input, as, like you, they have spent too many "sleepless nights" meddling with things they don't fully understand, yet!

Just to confirm...

"1. The actual XBian Alpha 5 is working best, but the click_confines value is too small so you have to tap two times precisely on the same spot to make it work."

I have posted about this earlier in the thread and also provided information on how to fix this, if you are prepared to recompile. Have you found another solution?

2. The actual xbmc-nightly gives me much trouble, the cursor is jumping wildly I think related to eGalaxpatch:

Again, I remember posting about this too in THIS thread. Problems were caused with the nightly update, dual pointers, and if you checked the GIT , then you could see they PULLED the eGalax patch from the patch script. I re-complied 12.2 with my fixes again and it worked fine for me.
The code you have highlighted is from LinuxInputDevices.cpp, and should no longer be in Andrei's patch for xbian (check git, it's /*remarked */) .Koen kindly recompiled, and the xbmc.bin file was available in github, for those who didn't want to compile themselves.
Which brings me to...

3. The actual nightly does not, to any extend, use the /usr/share/eGalaxCalibration/touchscreen_axes_calib file when working with that touchscreen. The reason might be


Well it won't if the patch was pulled will it! derrr!

4. The Acer T230H Screen is named: "Acer T230H" and, as far as I understand the code of the eGalaxPatch.............
is looking straight for the eGalax or a device named "touch".

So could someone add the Acer T230H to the nightly and to the eGalaxpatch, to be propper recognized? And perhaps, rename the patch - Touchscreen-patch?

Let me get this straight, you want someone to modify the code for you?

I will, can you pay me?

PPS: Perhaps it might be better in terms of readability if we split off the Acer T230H discussion into a new thread. I didn't want to capture this thread, sorry if I did so. But if no one is offended by it - I'd like to stay Wink

The choice is entirely yours! I personally would love you to contribute

Have you tried ts_calibrate yet? I'm currently looking at SDL to see if xbmc can use tslib with SDL to provide a universal calibration solution for all touchscreens using tslib.....on the other hand....i could just be happy that I have a working solution already!

Let's keep this thread about solutions not problems
