I have the same issue and have been trying to figure out a solution
for a while.
=46rom what I can gather, the uep driver is for older non HID compliant
eGalax devices. Apparently eGalax changed the devices but kept the
same device IDs.
2 approaches have shown promise, but so far neither actually works:
1- the latest version of xf86-input-mouse contains a patch from mav@
which includes support for USB HID devices directly. I am able to get
my touchscreen somewhat working using this. You have to compile a
kernel without ums in order for uhid to bind to the device and add
something like this to Xorg
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Panel1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "usb"
Option "Device" "/dev/uhid0"
Option "Collection" "2"
Option "FlipXY" "true"
# Option "InvX" "True"
# Option "InvY" "True"
Option "AngleOffset" "90"
EndSection
On my device, the axes are inverted, and the driver doesn't seem to
respect the FlipXY option, so it isn't of much use.
2- the multimedia/webcamd includes a port of the linux eGalax input
driver. Once installed and bound to the ugen device ( my device is
ugen4.3 so I run "webcamd -d 4.3"), there is a linux style
/dev/input/event0 device which produces data when the screen is
touched. But so far I have found nothing to use this to get events
into Xorg.
