I've been asked to get a particular touchscreen (eGalax usb) going
before Tuesday next week on Breezy.
The manufacturer has actually provided some Linux software in the way
of binary bits plus some sources for a number of old rpm-based
distributions (RH<=9, FC<=3, Mdk<=10), all for XFree86 and a 2.4 kernel.
I see the following issues, with possibly varying degrees of
significance:
.deb != .rpm
2.6 != 2.4
Xorg != XF86
package names and divisions are all different
My questions (to those who might actually know):
Does anyone by chance have working bits for this beast?
Should this be relatively simple to kludge into Breezy?
What gotchas can I expect if I try to do it myself?
Should I start from FC3 or one of the other sources (as closest to
Breezy)?
