Hi All, This is my first post on the group. Hope I'm in the correct place. Hate to sound like such a noob but, that's what I am.
I am working with a Beaglebone Black revision B, 7" HDMI display and USB eGalax based touch screen. We are currently have 5 revision C boards on order. I am booting from a 2gb sd using the 3.14.4-bone4.1 kernel and debian-7.5-minimal-armhf-2014-05-07 rootfs. I did a cross build on a Wheezy VM using the info from http://eewiki.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=13599118. I have installed LXDE and everything is working really well. I have one small touchscreen issue however. It works correctly except that I cannot get the pointer to the edge of the screen. Not close enough to activate the panel menus and such. >From what I've read I believe the xinput-calibrator utility would help solve this issue. But, I can't find the package with sudo apt-get install xinput-calibrator. I have downloaded the source for version 0.7.5 from freedesktop.org and I'm trying to cross build it. No luck so far... I know that this utility is installed by default on the latest Debian/LXDE images from Beagleboard.org but i really want to be able to configure and build all of this myself. What is the best method for providing the ./configure output and config.log content here? The tail of the ./configure output is below but I know it would probably be helpful to have the entire output and the config.log content. ./configure output ------------------------- checking whether the /home/prism/bbb-dev/cc/linaro-03/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ linker (/home/prism/bbb-dev/cc/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2014.03_linux/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics...
