Hi, Thanks for the reply. I understand that the X server will handle communication, but I have noticed next to no support for calibrating the devices from the manufacturer for recent kernels. The only thing I have been able to find are several different touchcal source packages which are no longer maintained. These are based on ncurses, take three points of reference and provide you with the "MinX|MaxX|MinY|MaxY" option values for the microtouch driver (xserver-xorg-microtouch). I was hoping to be able to whip something up with EFL that would do similar (to avoid having to stop/calibrate/change xorg/restart X ).
Let me know if you have any further thoughts.
