Hello everybody,

my Elotouchscreen was delivered with a "USB Touchscreen Driver" Directory.
The Content:

elo_memory.h
elousb.c
elousb.h
elousb.o
elousb_drv.o
lmakefile
makefile
manual.doc (Forget it)
USB_Driver_old_kernel (Directory)

The Touchinterface works on hiddev0.

First I tried the elousb.o driver.
Result in the XFree.log file:
Option "Device" "/dev/input/hiddev0"
Elo USB Touchscreen: port opened successfully
USB Kernel Input Device Name: unknown
Elo USB Touchscreen: unknown type hardware
Elo USB Touchscreen: unable to query/initialize hardware
Elo USB Touchscreen: driver work in silence mode

Then I tried the older XFree86 onboard driver elographics_drv.o
Result in the XFree.log file:
No errors, but this strange output:
Elographics device will work in landscape mode.

The Touchscreen itself always reacts just a little in the y-axis even though I gave him Min/MaxX and Min/MaxY values.

lsmod gives no results concerning something like touchscreen.
dmesg says: input: USB HID v1.00 Pointer [Elotouchsystems, Inc. ...]
on usb1: 4.0
cat /dev/usb/hiddev0 gives no data when I run my fingers over the screen

So my questions are:

1. Has this problem really something to do with modules?
2. What meaning have the makefile, elousb.h, elousb.c etc. files
3. Do I have to compile the kernel?

(By the way: The manual.doc says:
"NOTE: It has come to our attention that this driver does not support Linux kernel 2.6.11 or above.")

Thanks a lot,
deuter
