More on this. I'm now with Fedora 13 (using a very Lucid-like system) and the behaviour was exactly as described in this bug. Booting with the 2.6.32 kernel provided by Fedora 12 makes my touchscreen work properly, but it gets detected as two devices instead of one. The problem is narrowed to a Fedora 12 only patch for 2.6.32, that introduced HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT for eGalax touchscreens in drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c. We are demanding the return of that patch to Fedora 13, to divide the touchscreen in 2 device, but conquer the touchscreening here. If we can get X to recognize the touchscreen as a tablet, or as a whatever that gives reliable X and Y coordinates, and answer to touch, we are done.
Keep an eye on this, Ubuntu followers! The source of this issue is this. It is not evdev, it's the kernel. And that patch is the solution. I'll report my advances getting this fixed under Fedora 13. -- eGalax touchscreen configured as tablet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549447 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
