Apparently, EETI makes a lot of touchscreeen variants and many different ones uses the same 0eef:0001 VID/PID value. Instead of proper documentation (which was not updated since 2000 and only covers serial attached single-touch touchscreens in the protocol docs) EETI provides an eGTouchD daemon that provides a bridge in userspace between HIDRAW and UINPUT, i.e. it creates a new /dev/input/xxx device from userspace which then provides the necessary properly working details and which can then be picked up by Xorg properly. I have straced this daemon already and it seems to be doing an extensive device discovery and initialization over hidraw. The new input device created from userspace does indeed provide BTN_TOUCH events. I have already asked for a more recent documentation from EETI. I will try hid-record.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
