The problem is not making it work with the
X drivers on the system, it’s making it into a product that you can
deploy to an end user. This means a friendly calibration utility and configuration
options tools. The free stuff from elotouch.com, the linux_public.zip file is
woefully incomplete.
I see you don’t like 3M. Make a
request for their source code, you will have to sign an NDA but with source
they work pretty well.

I have worked with the Elo drivers before. These days
(considering you have a newer Elo touch) you use the drivers in X. You
can find how to setup the drivers at:
The newer versions of X (4.x.x) include some Elo drivers that should
work. That is what Elo suggests using. Just look for the input
driver as instructed and see if it works. Otherwise, I would look up the
particular model of Elo and try googling for it from there.
I'm glad you asked about Elo's instead of 3M touchscreens so I could
keep my email message at a PG rating ;)

I can make
the touch screen work with the elographics X drivers but the right way is to
use the package from elo which I have been unable to get from them.
It’s a kernel level driver and calibration tool. The package
would likely be called elotouch-1.1somthiing.rpm based on the little that I
know.
