No sure if you really need this package and I don’t remember the exact package…
If the above section does not work, try to install this…
sudo apt-get install *evtouch*…
Your soultion doesn’t work for me… I have problems written in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-input-evtouch/+bug/598331 and still Ideaco uses evdev instead of evtouch. Did you modify any thing else?
I have installed the package xserver-xorg-input-evtouch but maybe it is not used. I don’t know if the package installs other stuff that makes the panel works…
You can also try to hack the maxx, maxy, minx and miny. Put your own value here (like minx=0, maxx=7100 or minx=7100, maxx=0 …), and restart X to test if the calibration is OK… I have experienced your inversion problem as well. But now it is ok…
I have hacked the min,max to make the panel work, but the problem reappears later
I have a dual boot on that PC and I occasionally boot windows and I think that the panel remember the calibration from windows (really not sure of that but I need to mention it). I still believe that you can do it without dual boot…
Tell me if you achieve to calibrate it properly… I will take a look at my configuration later tonight and tell you if I can identify some other special configurations.
I managed to calibrate it by upgradeing from ubuntu 9 to 10.4 , and then manually set:
xinput set-int-prop 8 « Evdev Axis Calibration: 32 7404 750 7106 1164
xinput set-int-prop 8 « Evdev Axes Swap » 8 1
xinput set-int-prop 8 « Evdev Axes Swap » 8 0
It couldn’t be done by your evdev since I couldn’t force Ideaco to use evtouch…
Thanks Stanislaw for your comments!
For now I use Ubuntu 10.04 but what I am waiting for is Android 2.2 for x86… I have tried the version 1.6 before on my wind touch and it was really cool (the touchscreen worked perfectly) http://www.android-x86.org/. The only thing about this port is that it look like a « hack » and there is no features to close/open nicely the PC and some other issues but this is promising…
Intel is supposed to port the Android 2.2 to x86 this summer so when it’s out, I will install it on my Wind Top..
