[Bug 350001] [NEW] evtouch doesn't work with eee top touch screen

[Jeppester]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evtouch

This bug occurs in the jaunty jackalope beta (9.04).

In Ubuntu 8.10, it's possible to make the touch screen on an "eee top
1602" working reasonable using the xserver-xorg-input-evtouch module
using the following configuration:

The touchscreen-related-parts of "/etc/X11/xorg.conf":


Section "ServerLayout"
  InputDevice    "Touch0"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier    "Touch0"
  Driver        "evtouch"
  Option        "device"    "/dev/input/evtouch"
  Option        "MinX"    "1"
  Option        "MinY"    "1"
  Option        "MaxX"    "4096"
  Option        "MaxY"    "4096"
  Option        "ReportingMode" "Raw"
  Option        "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
  Option        "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
  Option        "SendCoreEvents" "on"
  Option        "MoveLimit" "0"
EndSection


And the following "/etc/udev/rules.d/69-touchscreen.rules" (which eases pointing out the right device in the xorg-configuration):


KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1bfd", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1688", SYMLINK+="input/evtouch"


However, in 9.04 beta, when using the exact same settings, the screen only detects a touch at the "MaxX" and "MaxY"-values (I've experimented with different values), no matter where it is touched, making the touch screen completely useless.

The xserver-xorg-input-evtouch package versions used:
In 8.10: "0.8.7-4build1"
In 9.04 Beta: "0.8.8-0ubuntu2"
