Hi,
You don't tell the type of connection (serial, usb).
But for the kernel you have the driver in the
Device Drivers --->Input device support --->[*] Touchscreens ---><M> USB Touchscreen Driver (for usb)
or <M> MicroTouch serial touchscreens (for serial)
Yes it is for 3M. At least the usb driver. And when it was serial it was named MicroTouch.
This driver (when loaded) create a evdevice that is used by xf86-input-evtouch.
So
| Code: | | emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-evtouch |
And you need something like this in the xorg.conf
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchscreen0"
Driver "evtouch"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen"
Option "MinX" "62"
Option "MinY" "1910"
Option "MaxX" "1966"
Option "MaxY" "45"
Option "ReportingMode" "Raw"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
|
Depending on screen.
Ref:http://linux.chapter7.ch/touchkit/mini-howto.txt
P.S. I don't have any touchscreen. |

sorry, I forgot to mention the connection.
it's a serial connection. I'm currently using the sabayon kernel. from what I can see in the config, I think the touchcreen is supported and mircotouch is enabled.
I'll install the tool and see if I can get it to work in the weekend.
thanks already for pointing out this application.
Johan

OK, 3M Microtouch touchscreen serial.
Then you only have to
| Code: | | emerge xf86-input-microtouch |
And calibrating tool
| Code: | | emerge x11-misc/touchcal |
And insert something like this into the xorg.conf (if you connect it to ttyS1)
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "TouchScreen"
Driver "microtouch"
Option "Type" "finger"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
Option "ScreenNo" "0"
#subtracting shifts cursor right
#adding shifts cursor left
Option "MinX" "150" #left
Option "MaxX" "16233" #right
#subtracting shifts cursor up
#adding shifts cursor down
Option "MaxY" "200" #Bottom
Option "MinY" "16483" #Top
Option "SendCoreEvents" "yes"
EndSection
|
To test the comport you may
cat /dev/ttyS0 (or ttyS1)
then touch the screen and it would be some garble in the terminal.
And in the serverlayout section enter
| Code: | | InputDevice "TouchScreen" |
It work like a mouse so you only have to have the comport working in the kernel.

Hi
Am trying to set up a Point of Sale terminal to run Gentoo.
It has a built-in touchscreen (LCD) monitor. It's made in China and branded as "POS terminal" ...
I figured I should use x11-drivers/xf86-input-evtouch, but that seems to demand a lower version of xorg-server than 1.5:
| Code: |
equery depgraph x11-drivers/xf86-input-evtouch | grep xorg-server
`-- x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6
`-- x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 [ X ]
|
When I tried to install it, I got blocking with evtouch wanting 1.4 to pull in 1.3, and libpciaccess wanting 1.5.
So... is it possible to install x11-drivers/xf86-input-evtouch with xorg-server 1.5, or should I be using a different driver?
thanks, Ian

You can also install rpm-packages.
emerge rpm
I had to do that in order to get my Brother HL-2140 to work.
