X with touchscreen monitors

[Daniel Siemens]

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 ;)

Does anyone have elo graphics touch screens drivers and touch screen
calibration utility for 2.6 kernels.  In particular CentOS 4.3, the
comparable to RHEL 4, updates 3.

 

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.
