DSL-N :: XFree86 and touchscreen



Hi
another boring question on this dsl-n :D

keeping it short:
i tried a dsl on a pc with touchscreen; it all worked fine using XFree86 (well, i had to do some tricks but it worked fine)

then i had to change into dsl-n 'cause i need gtk2 and curl and some other things (plus: i got more space :D )
and i found no XFree86 for dsl-n

i tried to load XFree86.dsl from dsl (just downloaded) but nothing happens... simply myDSL extension browser seems to freeze in time...
The xfree86 and xorg72 extensions work fine for me in dsl-n

U mean the XFree86.dsl?
why i can't install it using mydsl extension browser?

it worked for me once
then i rebooted machine (after adding
usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
etc/X11/XF86Config-4
into my .filetool.lst)

then when machine rebooted it prompted me "unable to load required base modules, Exiting"

i had to change configuration into .xserverrc
start again with xvesa
and try to manually reload XFree86.dsl extension using GUI

BUT
it does not load. it open window, i select the .dsl file, and it freeze...

i need to redownload XFree86.dsl?
i need to download XFree 86 debian package and install it using dpkg?
i need to install xorg? how? (there is a .dsl xorg package? or using .deb package?)
Yes, I was speaking of the XFree86.dsl extension - the only files you have to add to .filetool.lst are /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and /home/dsl/.xserverrc (which is normally backed-up anyway) after editing it for XFree86.

If you add XFree86.dsl to /mydsl it will be loaded automatically at boot - anyway, it has to be loaded each time you boot dsl.

anyway, 1) i created /mydsl folder BUT it seems i cannot copy mydsl here; 2) even forcing it to load manually, i got some problem: it does not load (the gui freeze, and the system still work but ps fax show process still running... after 8-9 hours is still running -.-) and, important, 3) now if i tell to start xfree86 system crash completely: no xwindow, no shell session (ctrl+alt+f1) nothing. only think i can do is entering throug ssh, but killing xfree does not work and i need to reboot machine...
