The code is in openmoko's git or on my github. I really havent looked if it 
can be applied to GTA04, but here are some references:

https://github.com/radekp/linux-2.6/commit/d082ca932a9d03105fe26881ee860e7ff7025a9d

Well, it appears that tslib is dead and that evdev is the consensus
future.  But there seems to be no mainstream Linux discussion of whether
/ how to add filtering into the evdev stack.  (I did see an
Android-context discussion, which seems to confirm that something is
needed.) 

 I also think that we need some touchscreen filtering - maybe use the
 filters from 2.6.28 Freerunner's image - they were really good.

Can you point me more precisely to the relevant code?  I'll take a look
at it.

Thanks,
Neil

What X server and config are you using?

With Xfbdev, I find that I don't have mouse/touchscreen input at all.

With Xorg, I do have mouse/touchscreen input, using evdev, but it's
quite inaccurate and jumpy.

Hi,
last time i tried it yesterday. Got the same issue with Xfbdev and Xorg.

I wonder what happened with xserver-xorg-input-tslib for wheezy - it looks the 
package is missing:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/xserver-xorg-input-tslib

Maybe after installing it from sid it would work better. I also think that we 
need some touchscreen filtering - maybe use the filters from 2.6.28 
Freerunner's image - they were really good. You can try compare Freerunner 
touschreen and GTA04 touchscreen and you'll notice how much better Freerunner 
is now.

It got removed because the RC bug did not get fixed in time:

 Seems to me that Qx is nothing for normal use,

 the normal applist and go either to the system debug menu,
 or should be, even better, started from the command line only

I would really like QX to work well, because I think it would cool to be
able to seamlessly run X and Gtk applications as well as Qt.  At the
moment, however, my observations (in my case on GTA04) are broadly
similar to yours, i.e. it doesn't really work.

I'm planning to work a bit on this, but time for it is limited so please
don't hold your breath.

In terms of overall structure, I'd prefer if a QX-requiring application
could be launched normally from the app (or games) menu - instead of
specially via the QX application - and also that the business of
any required installation or configuration was separated out from simply
running a particular application.  Does anyone have thoughts on that?

Thanks,
Neil
