TouchKit - Calibration tool won't start

Hello,

i'm in trouble with my TouchKit for my AspireOne 110L (Linux) because I can't use the calibration tool, it simply refuse to start :

[user@localhost ~]$ sudo -s
[root@localhost ~]# eGalaxTouch
[root@localhost ~]#

I downloaded and installed "eGalaxTouch-2.06.2905-32b-k26.tar.gz" (by the way : same error with "TouchKit-2.03.1712-32b-k26-x13.tar.gz")

The Touchscreen reacts, but in wrong y- and x-aixes and the dimension is not korrekt.

Has anyone the same problem ? How did you solved it ?

The Installation (seems to have problems to detect the usb controller ?) :
[user@localhost eGalaxTouch32]$ sudo sh setup.sh

(*) Linux driver installer for eGalax Touch controller

(I) Check user permission: root, you are the supervisor.
(I) Begin to setup the eGalax Touch driver.
(I) Extract eGalax Touch driver archive to /usr/local/eGalaxTouch32.
(I) Create eGalaxTouch utility shortcut in /usr/bin.
(I) Create TKCal tool shortcut in /usr/bin.
(I) Check X window version: 1.3.x
(I) Copy X module: x13/egalax_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input.

(Q) Which interface controller do you use?
(I) [1] RS232 [2] PS/2 [3] USB : 3
(I) Using interface: USB
(W) Unknown: Skip to check USB type.
(I) Note that the option "SkipClick" "1" should be appended in the touch
section of X configuration file for HID compliant touch controller.
Besides, if the using touch controller is non-HID compliant controller,
the option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" for mouse should be changed to
"Device" "/dev/input/mouseX" to prevent the mouse driver from reading.
(I) For details, see the document "Driver Guide.pdf".

(I) Found X configuration file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
(I) Add touch configuration into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

(I) Please reboot the system for some changes to take effect.
(I) After booting, type "eGalaxTouch" to do calibration.

Hi everyone,

i solved the calibration problem by using TKCal instead of eGalaxTouch.

First i have to go to the directory where i installed the beta-driver and uninstall it

Code:

sudo sh setup.sh uninstall

and installed the driver TouchKit-2.03.1712-32b-k26-x13.tar.gz

Then i changed to directory TKCal and typed

Code:

sudo TKCal /dev/hiddev0 Linz

for the 25point-calibration, after that i started the Draw tool with

Code:

sudo TKCal /dev/hiddev0 Draw

Now my lovely touchscreen works fine - and i'm happy again with my AA1.
