hi CMD,
you are welcome, thanks for pointing out the PPA :)!
I am on 10.04 now and already tried the vendor driver with no succes.
It also did not work on 9.10.
When I blacklist usbtouchscreen, there is no device loaded and nothing is
recognised in Xorg.
About the vendor: I do not know exactly. Unfortunately the drivers are
binary and they do not work for me.
I did not find a contact email adress, I think I should look harder :).
I prefer evdev, but it seems hard.
With usbtouchscreen driver loaded i get a proper input device, but no input
if i touch the screen.
This has been the problem from the beginning: no input is registered.
When usbtouchscreen is loaded, input -list says:
Sensing Win7-TwoFinger id=15 [slave pointer (2)]
(when not loaded it is not there.)
I am out of ideas, If you have any, please let me know!

Subject: [Bug 549447] Re: eGalax touchscreen configured as tablet
Hi MacRules, thanks to point to xinput_calibrator .deb package (at
last!).
For first, you have a touch-screen from a different vendor, GeneralTouch,
not eGalax, this vendor make its own controllers? perhaps take one from
another vendor and remark/rename (this is correct term?) it as theirs.
Anyway, try drivers from your vendor:
http://www.generaltouch.com/zmp/Driver.htm
This: http://www.generaltouch.com/zmp/gtusbdriver4ubuntuv1.1d2beta.tgz
(vendor says Applicable For 32bit FC 8/9/12, ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04/9.10
But If you want to make this to work with evdev driver, let's try this:
-test the device with: xinput -test device id and touch the screen, you
see something? (to see device id use xinput -list)
-if you are using evdev driver, blacklist usbtouchscreen driver, write
blacklist usbtouchscreen line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
from Xorg.0.log: (II) eGalax Inc. Touch: Configuring as tablet
The touchscreen is a 7 resistive vga monitor.
Every touch makes the cursor move to the upper left corner and register the
click there.
My calibration values, coming from an ubuntu 8.10 installation using
evtouch, are loaded through a udev rule. Changing them or using no values
at all for calibration does not change anything.
If I install the eGalax driver
(http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm), the
device is listed twice in xinput list and if I disable the device using
evdev, I can calibrate the screen using the eGalax tool and everythings
works. If I don't disable the device using evdev, everything works too,
except that every touch is preceded by a touch to the upper left corner.
But I'd rather get it working using only evdev.
