Re: Asus T91 linux installation
After calibration, did you immediately restart X?

First, install the Linux driver from the manufacturer of the touchscreen. When it asks what type it is, enter '0' for USB:
Code:
wget http://www.ideacom.com.tw/download/DRIVE/IDC_Linux_3_1_0.tar.gz
tar xvzf IDC_Linux_3_1_0.tar.gz
cd IDC_Linux_3_1_0
sudo ./IDC_setup.sh
Your xorg.conf will now have the appropriate device section for the touch screen.
Reboot.
To calibrate, use the following command:
Code:
sudo /usr/local/IDC/calibration
Enjoy!
Edit: For t91 only (as far as I know)
Finally got round to testing this... Absolutely cool calibration tool!!! Works a charm on my T91, thanks a lot.

Haven't figured out right click yet, but finally having a calibrated touch screen is nice.
EDIT: Right click works with the stylus but not my finger for some reason. Just tap and hold for 1.5 seconds. Found in /usr/local/IDC/setting.txt

Do you have the problem of the cursor position messing up at the edges of the screen?

No I do not. Make sure you run the calibration tool as the superuser, and restart X/your computer afterwards.
Also, in the setting.txt file, I changed the timeout to 1000 (ms) and the movement to 100 (Originally 30 or something low) and I can now get right click menus using my finger.

I can't calibrate touchscreen. I'm running:
sudo /usr/local/IDC/calibration
then calibration tool appears and immediately closes. No output at console. video driver - poulsbo by lucazade (1024x600)

Tried again and it worked. Not sure why it didn't the first few times, but thank you :)
Now to tackle a new problem: hard lock ups while using gimp or mtPaint. Strangest thing is nothing in syslogs, so I'm guessing hardware/bios/etc problems. Will keep you all posted.
EDIT: turns out, this hard lock up also happens when I switch to dvorak and back to us using xkbsel <layout>, which is consistent since my arrow keys are disabled in dvorak for some reason (no big loss there)
EDIT 2: lock up no longer happens on switching keyboard layouts (still happens with graphics), but now when I switch to dvorak and back to us, I cannot use the keyboard (letter keys are dead); improvement nonetheless

To verify no output, do this:
Code:
cd /usr/local/IDC/
sudo ./calibration > ~/A_FILE_NAME.txt
cat ~/A_FILE_NAME.txt
For "A_FILE_NAME" use anything that is not already a file in your home directory.

Wow! Another dvorak user running Ubuntu on a T91. There can't be many of us. I don't have your arrow key problem (although I'm still running 9.10). I switch keyboards by adding additional layouts in the gnome keyboard setup utility and setting the windows-style "alt-shift" as a switching shortcut.

I think I just got that utility when I got baobab, so I shall give that a try. Lubuntu doesn't make it as easy as Gnome and KDE did, but it should work. If anything, I can modify xorg.
