RE: egalax touchscreen not working
Little explanation + it helps if you try to read that script that you tried to install:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brantje/xbian-touch/master/install.sh

As you already noticed, x-y coordinates coming from "/dev/input/event2" are way of with Kodi because screen resolution differs from touch resolution.
Solution is the "uimapper" Python script that runs in background, grabbing "/dev/input/event2" and creating a new input device for example "/dev/input/event3".
This "event3" device will have the translated coordinates derived from the "/etc/pointercal" file, that was created with the "ts_calibrate" tool, and coordinates coming from the "event2" device.
As the "event2" device is grabbed already by "uimapper", the only device still available for Kodi will be that "event3" device with translated coordinates.

For you to check:

1) whats your current exports:

Terminal
export

2) With what parameters is uimapper started:

Terminal
cat /etc/init/uimapper.conf

And please try to use the forums [code] or [term] tags when posting screen results or code!
