hi julien

yesterday i got the same monitor. It is not supported out of the box but it is possible to get it working.

I roughly followed these instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1375047

They have an Acer monitor but the USB HID Device is exactly the same (vendor 0408 product 3000) and it works with my monitor.

Here is a short step by step list what you need to do.

Install the xorg development files

Code:

sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-dev

Download the hidtouch suite (you should use Version 9.04.04, otherwise the patching won't work)

Code:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/hidtouchsuite/files/xf86-input-hidtouch/v9.04.04/xf86-input-hidtouch-9.04.04.zip/download

Download the patch from the debian tutorial on the touchscreen

http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDeb...l/OneTwo/Lenny

the file is attached at the bottom of the page and is called hidtouch.patch

unpack the hidtouch suite, apply the patch and compile it

Code:

unzip xf86-input-hidtouch-9.04.04.zip
cd xf86-input-hidtouch-9.04.04
patch -p 1 < <path to your hidtouch.patch>
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Now configure some udev rules to give the monitor a fixed name under dev (which makes configuring xorg a lot less painful)

Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-touch.rules with the following content

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0408", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3000", SYMLINK+="usb/quanta_touch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0408", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3000", SYMLINK+="input/quanta_touch"

Now just edit (or create /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier      "T2250MTS"
 Driver          "hidtouch"
 Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
 Option          "ReportingMode"         "Raw"
 Option          "Device"                "/dev/usb/quanta_touch"
 Option          "PacketCount"           "13"
 Option          "OpcodePressure"        "852034"
 Option          "OpcodeX"               "65584"
 Option          "OpcodeY"               "65585"
 Option          "CalibrationModel"      "1"
 Option          "CornerTopLeftX"        "0"
 Option          "CornerTopLeftY"        "0"
 Option          "CornerTopRightX"       "1920" # 1920 for 23"
 Option          "CornerTopRightY"       "0"
 Option          "CornerBottomLeftX"     "0"
 Option          "CornerBottomLeftY"     "1080"  # 1080 for 23"
 Option          "CornerBottomRightX"    "1920" # 1920 for 23"
 Option          "CornerBottomRightY"    "1080"  # 1080 for 23"
 Option          "CornerScreenWidth"     "1920" # 1920 for 23"
 Option          "CornerScreenHeight"    "1080"  # 1080 for 23"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier "Touchscreen"
	InputDevice "T2250MTS" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

If you have already a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf then just add the whole Section "Input Device" and add the line

Code:

InputDevice "T2250MTS" "SendCoreEvents"

to the ServerLayout Section.

The tutorial says you just need to restart everything but i did reboot my computer just to be sure.

Greetings
Michael

Btw: This should work for every monitor that uses the Quanta Touchscreen Hardware

so "make" fails

regarding usb, i've checked and i have a /dev/usb directory now; it only includes quanta_usb; i didn't have before and i was able to mount any usb stick, or printer...

i found out something now : on the monitor preferences, settings, when i turn off my laptop panel (so i only have the touchsreen panel working), i can have perfectly adjusted mice, and the maximum resolution; i figured that out by re-reading the debian how-to

so i suppose that having both working together may not be possible for now

i guess it's solved now

and above all, thank you for having spend some time answering to me; i admire such things

best to you

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am quite new to ubuntu, but have enough knowledge to get myself into a whole heap of trouble. Thanks

I couldn't get this to work in 10.04 or 10.11 .
So I installed 11.04 and it worked right away.

No multitouch though, just single.

**tariqf** · June 22nd, 2011

has anyone got mulitouch working on this screen? I am using 11.04 and get single touch only.

**tariqf** · October 14th, 2011

ok if anyone's interested after upgrading to 11.10 dual touch is kind of working. I can do a two finger scroll in firefox now although it's jerky and unresponsive (unlike when I boot into windows which then works flawlessly so I know the monitor is capable of working well)
