Have been trying to configure egalax touchscreen in xenarc 7 inch
monitor for days with no success. OS is 7.10. I think I have read
every post on the net including guide on egalax web site.
Problem is that usbtouchscreen kernel module finds the touchscreen and
assigns event1 to it in /proc/bus/input/devices. However, when I do
sudo cat /dev/input/event1
and move my finger across screen, I get nothing, nada, zilch, zero.
Event2 and mouse movement puts out the usual garbage looking characters.
Needless to say, X has nothing to work with.
I have tried the egalax kernel module, tkusb, as well and it does not
find the touchscreen or at least it does not appear
in /proc/bus/input/devices. tkusb compiled and loaded without apparent
error. With the usbtouchscreen kernel module I have tried both evtouch
and egalax xorg drivers although I really don't think X has anything to
do with this issue. Xorg loads evtouch but complains it cannot
open /dev/input/event1 device. The device is present but apparently is
not sending data.
I'm beginning to wonder if I have a dead touchscreen. See snipits of
terminal output below. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
