UPDATE:
Managed to get python-uinputmapper working in the background to grab eGalax event and create a new inpuit/event.

So far, I can
1. Grab the egalax device
2. Add a new uinput event wiith additional features:
--Flat and fuzz values (to minimise reported events for finger press)
--Ability to swap axis and use the calibration info from ts_calibrate. (Not using the the egalax patch)
--BTN_RIGHT functionally (Inject the BTN_RIGHT event after a long-touch with no movement in a specified range)
--Detect a 'short-press' for selecting instead of double-click (Within a short time and range)

TODO:
1. Clean python code (I'm not a programmer)
2. Maybe set udev ruiles so xbmc can't grab device
2. create a daemon correctly, running in background atm '&'

it works for me with two command lines once set-up, so it is usable, but not ideal and could cause other issues.

Maybe if you can share your code, we can include in xbian and set it as an option to run it at boot.
Code clean ups, i don't know to much about python to do this, maybe ask curlymo or koenkk for this.


As for the skin, in addon.xml you have to change the xbmc.gui version from 3 to 4 i thought.

BTW, maybe we can create an topic in Hardware-> Periphal, with all info gathered from this topic.
With what is working / issue's / etc
