Howdy Folks:
I have recently written an input driver for XFree86 4.3.x for the USB-based touchscreens made by ELO Graphics (2500U-series controllers). At present, I have successfully tested the driver on several systems using Linux with XFree86 4.3.0. The sources can be found here:
ftp://ftp.salemradiolabs.com/pub/srlabs/eloinput/
This I have integrated into our sources.
I have a couple of questions on how to proceed that perhaps some of the more knowledgeable folks who hang out here could help me with:
1) LINUX DEPENDENCIES The driver depends upon the Linux USB HID layer for proper operation. What is the proper way to include system specific headers (just 'linux/input.h', really) without breaking other platforms?
2) BUILD SYSTEM At present, I am getting the driver to build by putting it into a 'programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/eloinput/' directory and then simply adding an 'eloinput' to the 'SUBDIRS =' line in 'programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/ Imakefile'. This is clearly incorrect, but I am not enough of an Imake expert (a complete beginner, in fact) to be able to find the 'correct' location. Where should this go?
I have added eloinput to xc/config/cf/linux.cf's setting of OSXInputDrivers2, which then becomes part of OSXInputDrivers, itself a part of XInputDrivers. Thus this driver will only build on systems with <linux/input.h>.
Thanks for your patch submission.
Marc.
