Need Linux driver for touchscreens
Posted: Thu 19 Jul 2007, 09:02
I wrote some software (point of sale) for that other operating system that utilises touchscreens.
Ive rewrote the software in flash (initially i used delphi), and would now like to get rid of windows on the machines, and use puppy linux instead.
This has become a bit of a nightmare for at least one of the units, a CTX PV500T, i cannot find a linux driver anywhere for it, despite hours of searching.
It also took me ages to even discover what controller the monitor used, (i think its ) a Panjit Touchset serial controller by Chuntex Electronics.
Most of the information out there for Linux and touchscreens seem to be outdated (aimed at XFree86 not xorg) therefore ive decided to put together as much information as possible, and hopefully create an addon (sfs or pet ) that will detect touchscreens and configure them.
Can anyone point me in the direction of ways to detect serial touchscreen controllers ?, does anyone have ANY links about linux touchscreens, and any information at all on how to get this ***** (insert appropriate expletive here) ctx working.
