Hello All,Sure, but you need to know what the incoming packets look like. Have you dropped a line to Hantouch? If you have, and they're unwilling to help, you probably can track RS-232 communications between the touchscreen and the Windows driver...
Please apologize if this request is wrongly placed. I'm not familiar with programming, just a keen user. I'd be thankful, if anybody could point me into the right direction.
I'm using X (4.3.0) on Linux, and I'm struggling to get a touchscreen (-input) device to work. It's not one of those popular manufacturers whose driver is included with 4.3.0
Things I've found out yet: manufacturer of the 12" TFT monitor with touchscreen is a no-name Asia-based. The interface is RS-232 with 9-pin serial connector and a PS/2 dongle-style plug (the mouse plugs into the back of this plug). Touchpanel manufacturer is a company called Hantouch Serial driver PCB manufacturer is a company called Sena (both companies offer downloads, but I didn't found any for X) The monitor is marketed under the label Glancetron in Europe (They only offer Win drivers unfortunately)
Since I haven't found any *nix drivers on the net, I've tested all input drivers which came with X. None of the touchscreen drivers work, some cause X to abort. The only reaction I get is from the DigitalEdge tablet driver, which causes a 'click' in the bottom right corner of the screen, no matter on which area I touch it.
My question is: Would it be an easy task to modify an existing driver to get the touch element to work? I've had a look at the Elotouch driver sources, and it doesn't look huge. I have no idea about programming, but I'm motivated to take the challenge.
Good luck!
