Elo Touchscreen Calibration


Thought I'd crossport this, as I just realized it's not actually a hardware problem I'm having. I can get the touchscreen working, just can't get the thing calibrated:

--
I'm trying to find a way to calibrate an ELO touchscreen on an Ubuntu box with KDE and xorg. I've tried the calibration utility for DOS that ELO provides, but, I can't find a working driver in DOS for the Chips & Technology 69030 card this embedded box has. So, I can calibrate to all kinds of text and EGA modes, but none of the VESA modes come up.

Is there a calibration that works natively in X? I've searched and can't seem to come up with anything. The touchscreen is serial, not USB, FYI.

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy

I wanted to mention that I solved this myself by using tkXinput. I had it but couldn't figure out how to use it. The package installed a program in /usr/bin called calibrate. The documentation wasn't very clear as to where that was or how to run it, though.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
