Does the Evtouch driver support the usb Elo 2216 resistive touch screen?

[Nate Moseman]

I've been banging my head against this one for a while now, but I can't
figure out what I am suppose to be doing.

I am using Debian Lenny/Sid with their Xorg packages. I've tried the
Elographics driver, but my thing is not serial; it's usb so I figured that
it's not suppose to be used with my device. I've tried hacking a 'elousb'
driver and was able to get it to compile and sorta get loaded in this
release... but I have absolutely know clue what I am doing. I can get the
module to load but in it still complains that the driver is non-existant.

I got it from: http://www.softcoded.net/eduard/elousb.html

So I figured the evtouch seems to be the right driver.. but people only talk
about Elo Intellitouch devices work which are accuostic devices, mine is a
accutouch and is resistive so I figure it's different and I don't know if
it's supported. I can get it to respond to key presses and I can sometimes
get the cursor to wiggle back and forth at the bottom of the screen or the
top of the screen and once sort a middle of the screen.
But I can't get it to move up and down any.

When trying to run the calibration tool it'll respond to clicks, but it
doesn't seem to know that the cursor is moving around any. The minimal stays
at '0' and the maximum stays at '2000' always for both X and Y no matter how
much I move things around.



The udev rules are a bit odd. It shows up as a joystick device? (is there a
kernel bug here?)
ls -l /dev/input/by-id/

For the Xorg.conf I tried similar configurations to this one:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "touchscreen"
    Driver "evtouch"
    Option "Device"
"/dev/input/by-id/usb-EloTouchSystems_Inc_Elo_TouchSystems_2216_AccuTouch_USB_Touchmonitor_Interface_50U00000-event-joystick"

    Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen"
#    Option "MinX" "98"
#    Option "MinY" "43"
#    Option "MaxX" "940"
#    Option "MaxY" "925"
   # Option "ReportingMode" "Raw"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
    Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "On"
#Option "SwapX" "1"
#Option "SwapY" "1"
#    Option "Calibrate" "1"
EndSection




And I did add a dummy device..

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "dummy"
    Driver "void"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection



I realy want to get this working. Anything that I can do to help.. I'll work
for it. I'll dissassemble the device and attack it with a multimeter if need
be, but my experiance at this sort of thing is very very slight.

Thank you.
