So I've picked up one of the frontpath progrear web tablets and I am
trying to get the touch screen
operational. I can't find any docs on what kind of touch screen they
used and I've opened it up and
was unable to glean the manufacturer. So I decided I'd shoot for the
commodity pieces know to work
on *nix and try good old trial and error. My most recent config attempt
is below along with the
associated log from a startup.
1. Am I correct to believe that I am dealing with a microtouch screen
based on the init messages
regarding it in the logs?
2. The tablet reports a ps2 port when linux boots, however there is no
ps/2 port on it for a mouse,
so the touchscreen/stylus input would have to be the core pointer,
but as you can see below it
appartently is not endowed with this ability. How can I get around
this?
3. Am I on the right track with my configuration on the touchscreen?
I am not subscribed so please CC me in any replies. Thanks for any help
in advance
