Hi, i'm the guy who bother you with touchscreen issue

i've a dsl (well, dsl-n technically) and i installed libc-2.3.2.so (to use with an app)
i need to install touchscreen

i tried using XFree86.dsl but he DOES NOT WORK
i mean: whenever i do startx (either automatically or manually) it show me black screen, no mouse, no anything
i still can enter in ssh BUT i cannot switch to console (ctrl+alt+f1) neither kill process etc.

if i use xorg 7.2, x start, all working BUT does not load evtouch_drv.so modules 'cause it say me "no glibc 2.4 found"
i tried to use older drivers but keep saying either "no glibc 2.4 found" or "ELF file's phentsize not the expected size"
so, what can i do to make this system working as intended?

ty for help

Why? It's already installed.

Try configuring XFree before starting it?

I would have thought that XFree86 would work with your touchscreen unless it is a very new model - maybe you could test things out by using an XF86Config-4 file setup for the vga emulation mode of your touchscreen. Does a google search on XF86Config-4 and the model name of your touchscreen bring up anything?

Did you compile the touchscreen module yourself? If not, maybe it was compiled on a machine that had glibc >=2.4?

It's not obvious how you could get hold of glibc >=2.4 - if you try apt-get you'll have a big broken dependency problem and I'm not sure if compiling glibc will be any easier.

'Glad you got it working - was it with XFree86 or xorg72?

Do you need to load evdev or tsdev? I have to load evdev in dsl-n to get my touchpad working, but I thought you needed to load tsdev for a touchscreen?
