[Libdlo] Support for e2i touchscreen module in Mimo 740

[Cook, Michael J. (OCTO)]

OK...  got it now.  Had to update my /etc/hal/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi file to include the evdev driver.  Then had to reboot to update the hal.

Works now!

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you.  I'm stuck now with a problem where I can't seem to load the evdev driver.  The system always loads synatpics.

Is there a fdi file change required to set up the hal correctly?

Mike

Hi Mike,

my setup looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "touchscreen"
        Driver "evdev"          
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
        Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen"  
        Option "ReportingMode" "Raw"       
        Option "SendCoreEvents" "On"       
        Option "Calibrate" "1"             
        Option "InvertY" "true"            
EndSection

You will find your touchscreen input device via:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

The evdev manual includes all options for the device:
man evdev


The touchscreen is very unuseable with a normal windowmanager but I'm 
currently trying matchbox. Btw, I'm also searching for a good way to 
calibrate the touchscreen. Florian already gave me a list of tools which are 
listed here http://tias.ulyssis.org/calibration/
