Touch panel question

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "eGalax"
Option "calibration" "70000 1000 1000 70000"
EndSection

Just playing around with numbers, above results in cursor towards center in each corner. So it looks like numbers stick, will test some more. BRB

Sorry, false alarm! Still no change = numbers will not stick!

Where and what name are you saving this file ?

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Have tried doing the following

Then creating your conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d called 10-calibrate.conf

Which seems to be a recommended method according to the man page for xorg.conf

Or editing /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf as per this page www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-ubuntu-1...chscreen-calibration

Would still be interested in the output of

bengt@combimill:~$ ls /dev/input/*
/dev/input/event0 /dev/input/event3 /dev/input/mice
/dev/input/event1 /dev/input/event4 /dev/input/mouse0
/dev/input/event2 /dev/input/event5 /dev/input/mouse1

/dev/input/by-id:
usb-1ea7_2.4G_Keyboard-event-kbd
usb-1ea7_2.4G_Keyboard-if01-event-mouse
usb-1ea7_2.4G_Keyboard-if01-mouse

Now we are getting somewhere, what we now know is that several conf files is not good as they seem to override each other . Deleted after some tests /etc/X11/xorg.conf and now the 10-evdev.conf seems to be working but I have to tweak the numbers.


Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
option "calibration" "355 2011 299 1904"
EndSection

Appears to be a bit non linear, if i point right side and move to left cursor moves faster away from my touchpoint.

Will have to play around a bit to find out acceptable numbers.

Cheers

Well at least something is happening.
Will give you some of the options available, I don't know which ones will help, but this one looks interesting

---

Option "GrabDevice" "boolean"
Force a grab on the event device. Doing so will ensure that no other driver can initialise the same device and it will also stop the device from sending events to /dev/kbd or /dev/input/mice. Events from this device will not be sent to virtual devices (e.g. rfkill or the Macintosh mouse button emulation). Default: disabled.

YEYYYYYYYYYYYY

My lucky numbers = the touch on my milling machine is now working = spot on


THANK YOU GUYS FOR HELPING OUT WITH THIS = MUCH APPRECIATED

Should make my life a little easier when I get around to it.

After all this did you end up having to swap any wires or not ?
