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. bmcclure@bmcclure-gmc:~$ lsmod | grep usbtouchscreen usbtouchscreen 10628 0 #so touchscreen kernel mod loaded usbcore 138632 11 cypress_m8,rt73usb,rt2x00usb,usbserial,hci_usb,xpad,usbtouchscreen,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd bmcclure@bmcclure-gmc:~$ lsmod | grep evdev evdev 11136 4 bmcclure@bmcclure-gmc:~$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0017 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=0100 N: Name="Macintosh mouse button emulation" P: Phys= S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event0 B: EV=7 B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=3 I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0eef Product=0001 Version=0100 N: Name="USB Touchscreen 0eef:0001" P: Phys=/input0 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse1 event1 #so data should be available at /dev/input/event1 B: EV=b B: KEY=400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=3 I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100 N: Name="PC Speaker" P: Phys=isa0061/input0 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=kbd event2 B: EV=40001 B: SND=6 I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0006 Version=007f N: Name="ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input3 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse2 event3 B: EV=7 B: KEY=1f0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=143 I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0002 Version=0000 N: Name="Power Button (FF)" P: Phys=button_power/button/input0 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input4 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=kbd event4 B: EV=3 B: KEY=100000 0 0 0 I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0001 Version=0000 N: Name="Power Button (CM)" P: Phys=PNP0C0C/button/input0 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input5 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=kbd event5 B: EV=3 B: KEY=100000 0 0 0 I: Bus=0005 Vendor=0a5c Product=2001 Version=0107 N: Name="Think Outside Keyboard" P: Phys=00:09:DD:50:12:24 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input6 U: Uniq=00:03:C9:EA:60:04 H: Handlers=kbd event6 B: EV=12000b B: KEY=3 2c1027 bf004400 0 0 1 800 338000 43fa 404c00 e08effdf 1cfffff ffffffff fffffffe B: ABS=ff01 0 B: LED=1f Section "Files" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "touchscreen0" Driver "evtouch" Option "Device" "dev/input/event1" #configured for /dev/input/event1 Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen0" Option "MinX" "50" Option "MinY" "50" Option "MaxX" "2000" Option "MaxY" "2000" Option "ReportingMode" "Raw" Option "SendCoreEvents" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "eraser" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "cursor" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "VIA Technologies, Inc.
