hi CMD, you are welcome, thanks for pointing out the PPA :)!
I am on 10.04 now and already tried the vendor driver with no succes. It also did not work on 9.10. When I blacklist usbtouchscreen, there is no device loaded and nothing is recognised in Xorg. About the vendor: I do not know exactly. Unfortunately the drivers are binary and they do not work for me. I did not find a contact email adress, I think I should look harder :). I prefer evdev, but it seems hard. With usbtouchscreen driver loaded i get a proper input device, but no input if i touch the screen. This has been the problem from the beginning: no input is registered. When usbtouchscreen is loaded, input -list says: Sensing Win7-TwoFinger id=15 [slave pointer (2)] (when not loaded it is not there.) I am out of ideas, If you have any, please let me know! cmd_ <549...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote on 28 Aug 2010, 07:52 PM: Subject: [Bug 549447] Re: eGalax touchscreen configured as tablet >Hi MacRules, thanks to point to xinput_calibrator .deb package (at >last!). > >For first, you have a touch-screen from a different vendor, GeneralTouch, >not eGalax, this vendor make its own controllers? perhaps take one from >another vendor and remark/rename (this is correct term?) it as theirs. >Anyway, try drivers from your vendor: >http://www.generaltouch.com/zmp/Driver.htm >This: http://www.generaltouch.com/zmp/gtusbdriver4ubuntuv1.1d2beta.tgz >(vendor says "Applicable For 32bit FC 8/9/12, ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04/9.10" > >But If you want to make this to work with evdev driver, let's try this: >-test the device with: xinput -test "device id" and touch the screen, you >see something?
