Googling finds that, this author of this article seems to have already blazed a trail - http://tzilla.is-a-geek.com/articles/egalax/
The author also refers to "touchkitusb", I found this - http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0412.0/0061.html .deb != .rpm is sometimes easily fixed with the "alien" utility. The others are not necessarily as easy.

The manufacturer has actually provided some Linux software in the way of binary bits plus some sources for a number of old rpm-based distributions (RH<=9, FC<=3, Mdk<=10), all for XFree86 and a 2.4 kernel. I see the following issues, with possibly varying degrees of significance: .deb != .rpm 2.6 != 2.4 Xorg != XF86 package names and divisions are all different My questions (to those who might actually know): Does anyone by chance have working bits for this beast? Should this be relatively simple to kludge into Breezy? What gotchas can I expect if I try to do it myself? Should I start from FC3 or one of the other sources (as closest to Breezy)? -- Christopher Vance -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
