Lenovo C200 touchscreen problem

[Crazy Factory]

Hello,

we have some Lenovo C200 computers, and we have huge problems with the touchscreen when we install Ubuntu.
After we made the setup of Ubuntu on our computers, we switch to the desktop, and then we cant use the touchscreen.
Somehow we cant calibrate the touchscreen and when we pressing the touchscreen, the mouse is moving weird around on the screen.

My question is, how can we solve this problem?
We've also downloaded "Xinput" and tried to calibrate it with it, but also the same problem.
However, i hope someone can help us to fix this problem as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Crazy Factory,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!


Are you actually using Raring alpha to set up your Lenovo all-in-ones?

Are they still single finger touch (1FGT)?

Do you know who makes the touchscreen, i.e. VID and PID? Lets look at the output of the following terminal commands:

lsusb

xinput list

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

Thank you very much for your reply.

We are using the ubuntu 12.04 LTS version.
It's a single touch screen.
I have no experience about that system, because i just know the windows system.
I've just found a link about our computers here.

I will paste the terminal commands:

I hope it's helping you and i hope that there is a solution for it.
As i said, when i am touching the touschreen, the "mouse" is moving around and jumping.
I cant control it, also when i am trying to calibrate it with "Xinput", i cant find any solution for it.
Maybe there is a way to calibrate it manually.
I've tried to unplug the keyboard and the mouse, and then i was trying again to use use the touchscreen, but again, there
is still the same problem.
I would have no problem to use another ubuntu system if it helps to make this touchscreens working.
We need the touchscreens for our departments.

Thank you very much in advance!

I appreciate your help.

Moderator, please move thread from Raring testing to Hardware.


Hi Markus,

Well I guess it should be on the evdev X driver. Let's check:

xinput list-props "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController"

You could also check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if it complains of any errors.

Did you install the eGalax kernel driver?

Hello, when i am entering in terminal

"xinput list-props "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController"
it shows:

> xinput list-props "eGalax" Inc. USB TouchController"
unable to find device eGalax
unable to find device Inc.
unable to find device USB
unable to find device TouchController
xinput list-props eGalax Inc. USB TouchController
test@test-Lenovo-C200:~$

I've didnt install the eGalax driver, ive tried to from your link, but somehow i cant install, or dont know how to install.
It just extract some files, but i cant really setup them.
I am sorry for my lack of experience.
There is a file which is called setup.sh, but when i click it, a editor is opening.

I may need a description of it.

Thank you in advance

It is one <device name> conained in quotes, i.e. "eGalax" Inc. USB TouchController". Your adding the extra quote to the device name broke it up. Interesting that evdev now treats each word as a keyword though. Or it seems to now.

Right click on setup.sh and chose Properties. Under the Permissions tab is the Execute box checked? If not check it. But don't install yet.

Not sure whether the default driver in the kernel's HID section can handle your touchscreen or whether you need the proprietary one. Didn't find anything talking about models the driver supports.

By the way the 0eef:0001 in the lsusb output is the VID: PID, as in:
Vendor ID = 0eef = D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd
Product ID (model) = 0001

[Crazy Factory]

I checked the execute box, "Allow executing files as program", but nothing works.
There is also always the sign "No Touchscreen Controller installed".
I have no clue..
I cant even install, because it just extract some files and offering me with what i want to open the setup file..terminal, display, run and so on.

[Favux]

I'd like to see the list-props before you install the driver. Sometimes evdev just needs the coordinates to get a tablet/touchscreen working.

But looking at the install script it looks like you probably do need to install the driver.

The .sh extension on setup.sh indicates it is a shell script. The shebang line at the top of the script:

#!/bin/sh

tells you which directory the sh (shell) executable binary is located. In this case the /bin directory where bin is short for binary.

offering me with what i want to open the setup file..terminal, display, run and so on.

It is suppose to. You chose Run to execute the script.

The other way to run the script is to open a terminal and change directory to where the script is and then run:

sh setup.sh

as the readme says. When you do that you do not need to make the script executable.

[Crazy Factory]

I see and know your meaning.

I dont know if i have all drivers updated here, but right now i am making a update, maybe it helps.
I tried to install the SH file, but when i click on "run" nothing happends.
When i go in the terminal and enter sh setup.sh, it says "Can't open setup.sh"

Hmm, sorry..i dont get into that :-/
