Now we are moving to RHEL7, and things have changed again. Do you have any pointers as to how to get a serial ELO Touch device to work with Xorg (including calibration) given that Red Hat no longer ships the xorg-x11-drv-elographics driver, and HAL/FDI is no longer present. I can build the Xorg driver, but don't know how to get the calibration constants installed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448323220482921919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112936277054198647.post-78436394944520164002013-02-22T20:11:20.745+10:002013-02-22T20:11:20.745+10:00A very convenient thing to add to the 99-elo.rules...A very convenient thing to add to the 99-elo.rules is :<br /><br />ACTION=="add|change", ATTRS{name}=="Elo Serial TouchScreen", SYMLINK="input/elographics"<br /><br />That way you always have a /dev/input/elographics link for X-configuration etc.<br /><br />This came up because "my" device didn't work - at all - with a MatchDevice section in xorg.conf.d/ so I had to write an explicit InputDevice section.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112936277054198647.post-48494089107977801542013-02-22T08:19:01.847+10:002013-02-22T08:19:01.847+10:00L: thanks, typo fixedL: thanks, typo fixedPeter Huttererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204066043271384535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112936277054198647.post-10259599254653947472013-02-22T05:55:02.390+10:002013-02-22T05:55:02.390+10:00One small correction, in this line

As Fedora has been changing the underpinnings of this type of connection, it has been harder and harder for me to get my elographics and accutouch serial touchscreens working correctly with each release, as all of the required information does not appear to be in a single location until now.<br /><br />Again, thank you very much.<br /><br />-Tim Reidtimreidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668456255647676925noreply@blogger.com
