Hmmm, it doesn’t seem to be a line called so, but now the touch screen seems to respond again. *Btw, if you haven’t gedit installed you could probably execute: sudo apt-get install gedit If you have a little text editor like gedit* you could probably execute: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/nfĪnd take out the ‘blacklist usbtouchscreen’ line Of course you can edit the file and remove the line, just keep in mind you’ll have to be root to edit the file. Is there a distro with all i need and ready to go once i install it?Īh, yes you probably have blacklisted the driver with that command. Should i write these commands in the ‘terminal’?ĭo i have to replace the hard drive and install a full installation of Ubuntu on it to get the drivers i need? usr/bin/xinput set-int-prop “Sahara Touch-iT213 Serial TouchScreen” “Evdev Axis Calibration” 32 27 2027 39 1977 usr/bin/xinput set-prop “Sahara Touch-iT213 Serial TouchScreen” “Evdev Axis Inversion” 0 1 I placed calibration values for my XR-1 in both GDM and as a gnome startup script, since it uses automatic login: If you’re using GDM, you can put the calibration command in your /etc/gdm/Init/Default. The calibration will be set immediately, but will not survive reboots. I had issues getting it to work properly with HAL, however this will work regardless:įollow the instructions pressing each target, and the calibration output will be printed to the terminal.

Packages and source files are available for other distros here. Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install xinput-calibrator Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tias/xinput-calibrator-ppa The calibration utility is included in Ubuntu 12.04 and later: Thanks to the wonderful work of the developers, calibration is no longer a black art in Linux. If your device is a tablet with stylus-only input, fujitsu is a popular maker of embedded tablet devices. Likewise, non-Elo external touchscreens will most likely use touchit213. If your device is built into a laptop, you’ll have the best luck with the mtouch, touchright, touchwin, or touchit213 drivers. If i understand correctly i have to install a driver: I did find a site that might have the solution, but the thing is i’m totally green when it comes to Linux, so i was hoping someone here might give me a push? The touch screen is completely uncalibrated though, so i was hoping to find a way to calibrate it. However i tried to fire it up, but the hard drive seems broken, so i made a bootable linux USB stick and it seems to work like a charm except for the drive. There is no branding on it or anything, so i can’t look it up on google, but i’m starting to think i just found gold here. I’m pretty shure this thing was quite expensive when new and it can’t be that old either. Looking at it’s specs i found out it is equipped with an i7 processor, 2x11,1V batteries, SIM card reader, WiFi, SD card reader, 3xUSB. Its body is extremely rugged made of cast aluminium and with fat rubber protectors on the sides.

The other day i found a very special computer, that is built into a touch screen monitor (resistive i believe, comes with a stylus), in the trash.
