[quote=succo]what kind of howto do you need?
as far as i can see evtouch doesn't seem to work with any touchscreen, so, if it receives events on yours (as me) you're lucky
again, even if it works better that evtouch (at least for me) there is no calibration tool, so i had to use the data submitted to evtouch...
anyway, have you got any output from your /dev/input/eventX device with input-event when moving around the screen/tapping on it?[/QUOT
/dev/input# ls
by-id by-path event0 event1 event2 event3 event4 event5 event6 event7 event8 mice mouse0 mouse1 mouse2 mouse3
and touchscreen works in ubutu but like you said static in xbmc i have a shuttle x50 running
tryed to setup the xorg with the info

checked all events but they don't seem to give any info for the touchscreen
and after some looking around i found
:/dev/usb# ls
hiddev0
i think this is where the info comes into of the touchscreen with evtouch

so you're using evtouch... as i said, i solved UNinstalling evtouch and using evdev... if you're using evtouch i think bruno can be of much more help than me
anyway, what does dmesg say about touchscreen? are you sure it's on dev/input/event6? did you try to listen to it with input-event and see if anything is captured?

Hi all ^^
i try to search a solution for this problem...lots of post about it around the world
.(Scuse my english...i'm french)
Well...I have Babylon (XBMC 9.04) installed on a SSD with Point Of View ION M330.
I have a 8' tft touchscreen and i'm trying to use MARK-III skin (think easy skin for mouse / touchscreen).
This touchscreen is drived by evtouch.
It work perfectly on ubuntu 9.04 after some modifications.
However, I have a strange effect on Babylon:
To have clic effect, i must to "drag (the mouse to the button) and unpress" the touchscreen...
I had thinck about xorg.conf configuration but it seem to have no effect with XBMC...
You know that touchscreen emulate mouse...
I hope those informations can help us to solve this problem...

Hi everybody,
I had a lot of troubles to make my touchscreen work with Ubuntu :
I tried evtouch (and all the other included drivers) without any good result.
The only one I got working was evtouch. Calibration was ok but while left click was working well on the desktop, left click was NOT working in xbmc
I was not able to do a drag'n'drop also on the desktop.
After searching for days on the internet, I found a tutorial on the French Ubuntu help website (could not find it again, grrrrrr!) with a link to this driver. There is a readme file inside which explain the VERY easy steps.
Another link that may be usefull :
http://tzilla.is-a-geek.com/articles/egalax/
If you uninstall all others drivers and restart, the driver has worked out of the box for me.
I hope it will help some of you

I give you my way to make evtouch driver for my egalax 8'' tft touchscreen:
Work perfectly on ubuntu 9.04
Code:
1.
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules (create it)
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="eGalax Inc. USB TouchController", SYMLINK+="input/touchscreen"
2.
cd /tmp
apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-evtouch
apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evtouch
cd xf86-input-evtouch-0.8.8/
3.
rm debian/patches/02-buttonless-device.patch
wget -O debian/patches/02-buttonless-device.patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26529094/02-buttonless-device.patch
echo 02-buttonless-device.patch >> debian/patches/series
4.
dpkg-buildpackage (for the xserver...deb)next is xorg.conf modification:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "touchscreen" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
