eGalaxTouch Y-Axis Issue

[deaths_eclipse]

Hi, I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong section. Just recently I installed (again) Ubuntu on my tablet. I've managed to get multitouch working on my screen (eGalaxTouch Controller) however the Y-axis is inverted. I've tried editing xorg.conf, 99-calibration.conf & some other files that i can't even remember anymore. I would really appreciate the help because I don't want to have to switch back to Windows. Thanks.

(I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on an Acer Iconia Tab W500)

Hi deaths_eclipse,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!

It probably depends on which driver you are using. But this option:

Option "InvertY"

added to the xorg.conf section or xorg.conf.d .conf file works for at least some drivers.

That didn't work. Reinstalled Ubuntu twice. First try i completely messed up the touch driver and something must have gone wrong during the installation because xinput and xorg were throwing all sorts of random errors. Second time, i didn't mess with xinput or xorg but tried poking around the eGalax ini file in /etc and managed to get it fixed. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Hi dlinuxh,

Let's see if a kernel driver is picking it up. What is the output of this terminal command?

xinput list

If so we can use the output to see if it is on a X driver.
