Usually e-galax touch screens use an e-galax driver or evdev. Newer versions of evdev tend to work better.
On the EP121 threads on Ubuntu forums they are using either although at least some apparently have hacked the evdev code to force it into touch screen mode. Perhaps the best thing would be to get the driver from e-galax as post #62 page 7 on this thread suggests (also has forcing hack early on) since you are on kernel 3.0+: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10603076 Quote: You have to ask the EETI-Support (touch_fae at eeti.com) for a special driver (Asus EP121; ubuntu 11.10 64bit). They will send you a archive called "eGTouch_v1.00.0812.L-x64.tar.gz" (Note: the driver provided on the driver page of EETI is not working properly ). You just have to run the setup.sh as sudo and add to the "52-egalax-virtual.conf" file the option InvertY, that it looks like this: Quote deadland: Section "InputClass" Identifier "eGalax virtual class" MatchProduct "eGalaxTouch Virtual Device" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" Option "InvertY" "true" EndSection And finally reboot you system. Observations: 1.) I asked the EETI Support if I could share their drive in the ubuntu forum, they said "NO" it is a project (I do not understand what this means, but anyway, please do not upload the driver) 2.) Multi-touch does not work, they told me "If you want to have multi-touch function, the user-space (application) must be able to receive our multi report data from our controller." Well, I also do not understand what this means ... What does not work: 1.) As i mentioned already, Multitouch does not work 2.) Microphone 3.) Specialkeys "show on-screen keyboard" etc. 4.) Accelerometer End Quote Another thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1690179 Favux ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
