Panasonic Toughbook CF-29HTM50BM touchscreen problems


I cant get my touchscreen to work.
I run Kubuntu 9.10

Here is dmesg output:



[ 24.546099] input: PS/2 Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8

Here is the related output from hal:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input_0'
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.touchpad'} (string list)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
info.product = 'LBPS/2 Fujitsu Lifebook TouchScreen' (string)
info.subsystem = 'input' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input_0' (string)
input.device = '/dev/input/event9' (string)
input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
input.product = 'LBPS/2 Fujitsu Lifebook TouchScreen' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'synaptics' (string)
linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event9' (string)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'input' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input9/event9' (string)

running cat /dev/input/event9 results i a load of garbled text if i touch the screen and move my finger on it.

A solution i got from a page is to make a .fdi file named 10-x11-input.fdi, and paste the following lines into a text editor and save as '/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi'

the contents of the file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<!--
Pointer inputs for the Panasonic CF-72 w/ Touchscreen.Models without touchscreen do not need this file as they are automatically configured by hal-->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="LBPS/2 Fujitsu Lifebook TouchScreen">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evtouch</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Device" type="string">/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ReportingMode" type="string">Raw</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MinX" type="string">240</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MinY" type="string">220</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxX" type="string">3900</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxY" type="string">3800</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MoveLimit" type="string">5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

that does not work.

here is a list of all my *.fdi files:

* i have tried to replace this one with the 10-x11-input.fdi i mentioned, but that killed all my inputs.

My touchpad mouse does work.

there is a config program at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Soft...put_calibrator

But trying to running that results in:
Error: No calibratable devices found.

Do anyone have any solutions ?
