Re: Debian : Touchscreen calibration
My experience: First the calibration for gta02 in the wiki worked fine for me, but after a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade the pointer didn't follow the stylo anymore. I needed to overwrite /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules with /etc/udev/udev.rules.dpkg-bak and a restart of the X server to get it moving again. But then the pointer was very far off from the tip of the stylo. Obviously the mode how the calculation of the position worked has changed with the upgrade. I changed the calibration empirically. The following /etc/pointercal parameters worked for me: 0 8 -800 -80500 0 7450 65536 (On GATA02v5 after the upgrade!) BTW: I also added a short description on how to get GPS working on Debian: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian#GPS the serial connection is named /dev/s3c2410_serial1 instead of /dev/ttySAC1 Thomas sparky mat wrote: > Following the instructions at : > http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian#Get_touchscreen_working , I was > able to get touchscreen to work as a mouse.

The instructions there are not right. He gives canned numbers when these vary by individual Freerunner. You need to install tslib and its utilities (no idea what package, but it probably is packaged), and run ts_calibrate when it exits after you touch the crosshairs in sequence, the magic numbers it spits to console are the numbers you need to use for your actual touchscreen. - -Andy -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiasF8ACgkQOjLpvpq7dMpkxwCgkqMCAt3pkW1sGFWFcyc4KV1O bbEAnjk9HC3dUi9i04JTcZ9UAcf8+qLp =D7as -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
