I bought a Touchscreen from some car-tuning guy on ebay. The touchscreen |
| 4 |
is detected as an eGalax compatible unit and works using the |
| 5 |
usbtouchscreen-module of the linux-kernel (using 2.6.19-gentoo-?). |
| 6 |
Works as in "the cursor moves when I touch it". I had to patch the |
| 7 |
kernel to add some sysfs-entries to be able to calibrate it without X. |
| 8 |
I sent the patch to the maintainer some days ago, who has not repiled |
| 9 |
yet. If anybody is interested in the patch, please ask. |

I use pygame with the fbcon SDL-Driver, that works without any problems. |
