How about using tslib 1.0-9 instead? Well, it is the usual fragmentation of information problem :) I did not know that there is an issue - until I tried to use the official squeeze tslib with a 3.7 kernel yesterday. I didn't know and find solutions (I do neither read the freerunner IRC nor remember things so long) except tracking down the issue and compiling the tslib myself. Then, Radek did hint at his solution to use your (old) version (which just does its job very well). Now, there is the next piece of info that it is itself old... My general idea is that the gta04 project collects all these pieces and provides a rock solid debian stable basis that simply works - but without a specific GUI. And different GUI systems/distributions don't have to care about it too much. Ideally all of them should be installable as easily as apt-get install lxde and removed by apt-get remove lxde based on some official GTA04 debian base image. But to make this work, it might need a little more consolidation of what we already have. And better reporting of issues/solutions to the central repository. So please use the issues reporter: http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/issues/ or more specific for the debian stable rootfs: http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-rootfs/issues/ apt-get source libts-0.0-0 sed -i s/0x01/0x010001/g /usr/include/linux/input.h ( cd tslib-1.0 dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b ) sed -i s/0x010001/0x01/g /usr/include/linux/input.h dpkg -i libts-0.0-0_1.0-7_armel.deb but certainly needs more time than wget :) Or dget -x http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/tslib/tslib_1.0-8lindi1.dsc pbuilder --build tslib_1.0-8lindi1.dsc BR and thanks to all for your great work (I could base mine on), Nikolaus ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

The answer is simple: there is no touchscreen calibration and debounce/dejitter method in (unconfigured) Xorg for a long time. At least I am not aware of. I.e. we have to configure Xorg to load tslib and disable autodetection of /dev/input/event*. An alternative would be to modify the touch screen kernel driver to send calibrated (and debounced, dejittered) events to the kernel. But the kernel can't read/write calibration data and adding /sys nodes to to that needs some daemon to write it. I.e. also needs some configuration.

Install your favourite X application - e.g. foxtrotgps and then select
Favourites from context menu. The application should appear there (if it

Possibly these affect GTA04 only though; I'm not sure.
Also, for GTA04 I think the installed xorg.conf has the wrong
/dev/input/eventN numbers. For GTA04 I believe it should be
the event-numbers have changed between 2.6.32 and 3.7 kernels.
touchscreen = 0
Power = 2
AUX = 5
although I suppose even better would be to use the symlinks
/dev/input/touchscreen
/dev/input/power
/dev/input/aux
Yes, definitively. The event numbers aren't guaranteed.
Are those symlinks created on Freerunner too? If so, that's the best
overall solution.
Hm. How do you get these symlinks? On my 3.7 system they are not
created automatically at all. And the touch is even missing in
/dev/input/by-name
Also what's the latest thinking on which is best for GTA04, out of Xorg
and Xfbdev? I currently have Xfbdev installed, but I don't remember why
I made that choice.
Regards,
Neil
Another issue is that evtouch (from debian squeeze) is segfaulting.
And tslib (also from squeeze) is no longer recognizing any events
since the kernel presents a different EV_VERSION.

But the kernel can't read/write calibration data and adding /sys nodes to to that needs some daemon to write it. I.e. also needs some configuration. not quite sure, if it applies -- but there's inputattach which si supposed to act as daemon between touchscreen and X, so that X may use normal input devices/drivers. since the tslib xorg driver has a known, reported, and yet still unfixed serious bug, i'd suppose it's rather dead -- so inputattach would be the way to go anyway. i did not yet try to use it, but it's on my list for debian. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
