I just did a fresh install of CentOS 7 on my Asus EP121 tablet. The EP121 has touch and pen input. During the install process the GUI install had working touch, much to my surprise. After the install, X did not have working touch, but it seems to have Pen Input.
( or at least configuration software for wacom ). Unfortunately my pen is broken. I have tried to install the egalax driver from ( ) which I read would work. Unfortunate it did not. In X I get the error egalax daemon not started when running the egalax software.
Since the touch input was working during install, I assume that the egalax driver is not really needed.

Hi, I bought a Lilliput 669GL monitor with touch screen via USB (eGalax). It works ok, at 800x480, but for the hdmi cable: bad quality. Not well shielded. Took few days trying to install the touch screen driver in Ubuntu 10.10 but it's resulting very difficult. The issue is that the driver is only compatible for distributions which used xorg.conf. (Ubuntu 8 and previously I think). The script that installs the driver doesn't work if doesn't find /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Googling I found one way to create this file: - enter in console mode - stop gdm - Xorg -configure The command returns a list of video drivers a later: No devices to configure. Configuration failed. DxxSigGiveUp: Closing Log So file xorg.conf is not created. I've also tried to create a blank file and to use one template found in '/usr/share/doc.'
In both cases I got install the driver but once I reboot the system it freezes up in: [ OK ]bling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support and it doesn't load X11. Thank you very much.
I managed to boot X11: changing permissions. I've installed the latest version of the driver (beta version), but when I reboot and try to execute the calibration tool I get: /usr/bin/eGalaxTouch: 1: Syntax error: '(' unexpected I get this error when I execute the tool using 'sudo'.
If execute as 'user' or as 'su' a get: /usr/bin/eGalaxTouch: cannot execute binary file I guess the problem deals with the permissions.because I've installed the driver in my desktop and works ok whatever execute the tool.

Nope, the issue is worse: from: eGalaxTouch-3.03.4510-32b-k26.tar.gz voodoo@voodoo-e6400:/tmp/eGal/eGalaxTouch32/eGalaxTouch32$ file eGalaxTouch eGalaxTouch: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped ---------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^ It's a x86 binary, so completely useless on arm. Regards, -- Robert Nelson MaNu 12:49. Hello again, finally I've decided to move to Android: Ubuntu runs too slow for my needs. Now I'm more confused than ever in how to enable a touch screen on the BB. I've been 'googling' a lot but I haven't found any useful info. I've just got one conclusion: I must to use tslib.
I didn't find any successful project using android + egalax touch screen: it seems that this panel is not completely USB HID compliant. Does anyone know any usb touch screen tested and documented in Android? I have no problem in change my TS or/and my TFT (lilliput). Thanks in advance.

I've been doing more attempts. Trying to make it work my touch screen: there was no way. I've built Android's file system with TSlib but it still not working. I can't see anything when I touch the screen: no event.
After googling a lot, I only have read many many problems with egalax TS in linux in general and no one successful case in Android. So, I surrender. I can't understand how is so difficult to make it work a TS in android.
It doesn't make sense: all the tablet PCs and mobile phones that use Android have a TS. Can someone give a hint please? Any TS verified for beagle board in Android? In the announcement of Froyo 2.2, in this forum, is said that touch screen is supported from previous releases.
I asked but no one response to me: As you can see I'm very puzzled XD Thank you in advance by any comment.

Hi all, finally I found a successful and easy way, at least to me, to use any resistive touchscreen with the BB on any OS. My experiences ( I hope will be useful for some of you): EGALAX TOUCH DRIVER: Usb touchscreen controller very common on small monitors (overcoat for cars).
Not HID compliant. Drivers are not compatible with ARM architecture. I couldn't make it work in any OS (Ubuntu, Angstrom and Android).
TSHARC OCTOPUS. USB touchscreen controller for 4,5 and 8 wires. Ideal if you buy the TFT and the touchscreen separately. HID compliant. Drivers work perfectly with ARM. CONS: board is quite expensive (80$) and hard to find.Don't work in Android.
On other hand you can build your own board, the schematic is easy and you just need the IC (10$) and few additional components but. The minimum order for the IC rounds 40 parts (distributed by Microchip). ADS7846: Probably the most robust solution. I'm newbie on ARM and almost on Linux. By now I think I'm not able to rebuild the kernel and make it work. In the future I would like to use this solution. CUSTOM CONTROLLER.
The way I've taken finally. Use any 8bit microcontroller with USB DEVICE and AD converter (5$-8$).
Use the AD converter to take the touches later send the data to the BB emulating a USB mouse (the protocol is easy). Cheap, easy and driver is not needed: works with UBUNTU, ANGSTROM and ANDROID. You need to have some experience in uC&USB. 2.The mouse cursor is not elegant, at all: I'm working in hide it. On 10 feb, 20:40, MaNu wrote: >Well. >>I've been doing more attempts.

Just a matter of installing xf86-input-evtouch and calibrating it.
Hello all, I too have this screen. Installed in my car. I currently have the latest Ubuntu Natty demo image image from installed. Thanks Robert!). Ubuntu picks up the touch screen as a hid device but the input is all over the screen, seemingly random. I'm not sure what tack to take, the drivers distributed by Lilliput and EETI seem to have some source, and some binary utilities. Only for x86 and x86_64.
I haven't tried to compile their drivers yet, If it were that easy I imagine someone here would have succeeded. I did however find some info not mentioned here in this thread anyway: Looking over the history of usbtouchscreen.c, it doesn't look like this patch has been applied. I am going to attempt to apply this patch and see what happens. I am totally new to touchscreens in Linux and I'm not really sure where to go from there. Should I comment out the line that ignores this device ID, will that make the OS see the input as a touchscreen rather than a mouse? Anyway, I expect I will find out when I get around to recompiling the kernel. Dave David Szczuka 14:40.
I have it working, well mostly anyway, as an evdev input device, not a touchscreen. I followed the instructions on to download and build xinput_calibrator I calibrated, but I haven't yet been able to get the calibration to stick with udev rules or an config file.
David, regarding your problem while dragging/selecting. Yesterday I was facing same issue. I found out that using following command creates the issue xinput set-prop $i 'Evdev Axes Swap' 1 Instead of above command you may want to use following command. This command may have syntax error.
You can sort out syntax error and try. Xinput set-prop $i 'Coordinate Transfomration Matrix' '0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1' With this command there was no issue of mouse jumping left/right corner. Poco.@gmail.com 03:07.
