egalax touchscreen not working

[deHakkelaar]

Hmmm I tried myself to run that touch install script but noticed my touch
is not detected/no drivers loaded so need to fix first to test.
By the looks, everything looks configured correctly.
Does that pointercal file exist thats created by the "ts_calibrate" tool ?

Terminal

cat /etc/pointercal

You can run "ts_calibrate" from the bash command line if that pointercal
file does not exist but need to activate SSH for the "root" account and set password using the "xbian-config" tool:

Terminal

sudo xbian-config
su -
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE=none
export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event2
export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/usr/local/etc/ts.conf
export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/local/lib/ts
ts_calibrate
exit
cat /etc/pointercal

Are you sure no other input device is created after running:

Terminal

sudo stop xbmc
sudo stop uimapper
sudo start uimapper
evtest

Keep an eye on error/warn messages that might appear when running:

Terminal

dmesg

or

Terminal

dmesg | tail

I'll have a look and test shortly on me own touch when possible.

Ps. Below one looks ok to learn bit of bash etc but still bit heavy:
