I have a Gigabyte TouchNote T1028X that comes with Intel Atom N280 and eGalax Touch Screen. It runs Ubuntu 10.04 flawlessly except touchpad and touchscreen. Hereby, I wrote a tutorial to overcome these problems.. By the way, if there is any touch screen laptop or netbook that not using eGalax, please report here and also attach the printout of 'lsusb'. Maybe I can give a hand to solve the problem.

These instructions are the basic instructions included with the driver. If you get lost, follow those. My units are USB. If you have PS2 or Serial devices, follow the instructions included with the driver. # # List of USB ID's # # Maintained by Stephen J.

Or, anyone's touch screen devices can run Ubuntu 10.04 perfectly, please also report here with the result of 'lsusb' and the brand name, model as well as the howto. Ok please i need a little help i follow your instruction and its not working no finger inputs at all and wen ever i try to run the calibration tool it 'saysroot@jayune-laptop:~/Downloads/tias-xinput_calibrator-6836b99# xinput_calibratorError: No calibratable devices found.' Now i dont have the gigabyte touch note so that might be it but the result of my lsusb is 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 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c51e Logitech, Inc.

Your system is required to reboot after doing the Step 1.

I'm following your tutorial and when I get to the calibration step, the computer seems to know it is calibrating an eGalax touchscreen, but the computer does not respond to the touchscreen. Is there some other test I can perform to see if the Touchscreen is sending data to the computer? What about a test to see if the driver is functioning correctly?If I understand correctly, you need to hold the pen on the screen for a while (until the circle goes around) at calibration. Please read the instruction on the screen carefully when the calibration begins.

Hi there, Feel like I have been pulling my hair out for months over this one! Everything on google seems to lead to a dead end: I have a eGalax Touchscreen which I have used under windows and other distros of linux. But I am currently running some software that runs so much better on cent os than any other distro (another mystery in itself), so I thought it would be simple to put the touchscreen on the centos PC right? It appears to be installed in the Kernel, lsusb does show it there, and it shows up and assigns itself to /dev/input/mouse1 (when I run cat /dev/input/mouse1 and touch the screen I get a reaction) But xinput does not detect it at all. I have tried writting all kinds of xorg.conf.d files and hal files etc etc.

The current Kernel I am running is a self compiled kernel 3.9.6 but that can easily be changed to anything that will help me run this! So can someone please explain step by step how to get this to interact with X! As I say the Kernel seems to find it with no dramas, something in Xorg seems to restrict it? I had it working at the beginning of last year (I think CentOS 6.2?) but don't recall how I did it. Any help appreciated!

Regards, Matt.
