3M Touchdriver Installation

[koalauk]

Hi there to everyone,

After spending the entire weekend I thought it was time to ask for a help.

Trying to install 3m touchware serial controller drivers for the Ubuntu Netbook edition I have,

I downloaded the linux drivers from the 3M site.
It was a .bin file which I managed to run the correct commands to g create a tar.gz file and then I run command

tar xzvf twscreen.7.12.5.tar.gz -C /opt

whioch first didnt work and kept reading on the internet and managed to change chmod for the file directories etc and I got the command to work

Run install script: /opt/twscreen/Install

brings out this result

root@ubuntu:/opt/twscreen# /opt/twscreen/Install
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/TWDrvStartup missing LSB keyword 'required-start'

update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/TWDrvStartup missing LSB keyword 'required-stop'

update-rc.d: warning: TWDrvStartup stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (0 1 3 4 6)

AND here is the TWDrvStartup

Unfortunately I HAVE NO idea what it needs changing in order to get the installation work

Please HELP

I was all excited but now feeling rather useless

Thanks for your help

Here is the original instruction for linux

http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawe...SevTSeSSSSSS--

[koalauk]

At the end I ditced using the drivers supplied by 3M and instead

test device

cat /dev/ttyS0

got garbildi gubbly on the screen showing my serial controller functioning correctly and then if you havent already got it

download package inputattach and terminal

inputattach -mtouch /dev/ttyS0

and your touchscreen should work but slightly not calibrated

reboot box

use the 3M driver package and from there Linux MT712 B5.bin should have the calibration tool in it complete the instructions and complete the driver installation /ignore all the warnings etc etc...

reboot

now before enabling inputattach -mtouch /dev/ttyS0

you must calibrate the screen,

Go and find the folder where your driver is installed /twscreen folder

you ll se startCP .... make sure you have JRE before this as this script depends on the Java Env... Run script and wait you should see the calibration and options window popup this also should show your device port which on my case was ttyS0 and firmware etc etc now run Calibrate with your mouse (click)

although looks like you have no mouse movement etc complete calibration as touchscreen should recognise the touches during the calibration process, save and exit


Now Terminal inputattach -mtouch /dev/ttyS0

and check the calibration results your touchscreen should be calibrated perfect.


Next step run a script to enable inputattach starts my serial touchscreen everytime I reboot the box.

Anyone here to help how to enable this?

regards

[koalauk]

All seems sorted now

enabled the terminal command in order to get inputattach working by

terminal

su -

gedit /etc/rc.local

and added

inputattach -mtouch /dev/ttyS0

before the exit 0 and saved
reboot

now inputattach starts automatically mapping the input device touchscreen on ttyS0 directly Yuppieee



Hopefully this inforation will be come usefull to someone Ubuntu NooB like me

[walterj89]

I've been trying for a very long time to get this to work in Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop.

I'm having big problems with the calibration software, I cant get it to run correctly.

Usually when I run 'StartSP' what pops up (MT7 Software Control Panel, Verison 7) the first tab is all greyed out and I can't start the calibration. Draw test and Controller are greyed out too.

Also the Cotroller ID, Controller Type, Filmware Version, and touch screen Status are all greyed out and blank

If I try to run 'TwCalib' i just get "calibration cannot start" although I have been able to kind of get it to start perviously.

By default running 'inputattach -mtouch /dev/ttyS0' just moves the mouse to the top right corner when touching the screen.

Thank you for what you have posted, It got me this far almost successfully
