HOWTO : eGalax Touch Screen on Ubuntu 10.04

[Muzafsh]

Thanks people, issue resolved

did the following...

Created the following file...
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

and pasted the following set of snippets that threw up after calibration.

----------------------------------
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "eGalax Inc. Touch"
Option "Calibration" "1947 137 139 1755"
Option "SwapAxes" "1"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "eGalax Inc. Touch"
Option "Calibration" "139 1949 1750 134"
EndSection
----------------------------------

and Wallah !!! my calibration got set permanently

[Muzafsh]

Now looking forward to the following...

1. 'right-click function'.
2. the ever elusive 'flick function'.

Hello.
I have followed all the steps in your Wiki.
When I restart the computer and try calibrate touchscreen.
Do I get error message:No calibratable devices found
and the computer does not respond to the touchscreen
Restore my computer to remove the changes that were made according to your Wiki.
Can I calibrate the touchscreen.
But after reboot I have to do a new calibration.

Hi.
Thanks for your replay.

1. I use Ubuntu 10.04 on a EEE PC 900
2. Yes I think that. I am a beginners to Ubuntu and I have follow this tutorial http://samiux.blogspot.com/2010/07/h...touchnote.html

3. It looks like this:
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0951:1606 Kingston Technology
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The calibrator info looks like this:
Calibrating EVDEV driver for "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController" id=10
current calibration values (from XInput): min_x=1965, max_x=84 and min_y=201, max_y=1890

Doing dynamic recalibration:
Setting new calibration data: 1965, 85, 196, 1885


--> Making the calibration permanent <--
Install the 'xinput' tool and copy the command(s) below in a script that starts with your X session
xinput set-int-prop "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController" "Evdev Axis Calibration" 32 1965 85 196 1885

Hi.
It looks like this:

MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection

I have add this;

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "eGalax"
MatchProduct "eGalax"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "SwapAxes" "off"
Option "Calibration" "1965 85 209 1892"

Loock this ok?

I have follow the steps and the touchscreen is not responding.

I have follow the steps and the touchscreen is not responding.

Make sure the "usbtouchscreen" is blacklisted :

Step 1 :

Boot up the system and press "Ctrl+Alt+F2" to go to command prompt.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Append "i8042.noloop=1 usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40" to "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT".

*where i8042.noloop=1 solves the touchpad probem.

It will look like this :

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.noloop=1 usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40"

Save and exit.

sudo update-grub

I think "i8042.noloop=1" is not required on your system.

Step 2 :

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Append the following to the file.

blacklist usbtouchscreen

After that, you should reboot your box.

Hi.
I have follow the steps:

Step 1 :

[CODE]Boot up the system and press "Ctrl+Alt+F2" to go to command prompt.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

And add: i8042.noloop=1 usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40

GNU nano 2.2.2 Fil: /etc/default/grub

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.noloop=1 usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"

It does not work with or without i8042.noloop=1 or i8042.noloop=1 usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40



Step 2 :

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Append the following to the file: blacklist usbtouchscreen

Looks like this:

# This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by
# alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
# device instead.

# evbug is a debug tool that should be loaded explicitly
blacklist evbug

# these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually preferred
blacklist usbmouse
blacklist usbkbd
blacklist usbtouchscreen

# replaced by e100
blacklist eepro100

# replaced by tulip
blacklist de4x5

# causes no end of confusion by creating unexpected network interfaces
blacklist eth1394

# snd_intel8x0m can interfere with snd_intel8x0, doesn't seem to support much
# hardware on its own (Ubuntu bug #2011, #6810)
blacklist snd_intel8x0m

It still not working.
Do you have some more ideas?
Thanks for your patience / Peter

I think you missed the following command :

sudo update-grub
