Touch screen setup GUI

I followed the directions exactly.. I did notice that when I did "lshal | grep Elo", that I did not get any "info.product' like shown below. My main concern for doing this is that my pyvcp jog buttons and the +/- jog buttons in axis still are sticky (sometimes they keep focus and continue to jog after taking finger off the touch screen). I also have problems when trying to use the virtual keyboard.

Configuration

Ubuntu 10.04
Do NOT edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. All touchscreen configuration should be done by changing the appropriate .conf file in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

Check your device info:

lshal | grep Elo


info.vendor = 'Elo TouchSystems' (string)
usb_device.vendor = 'Elo TouchSystems' (string)
usb.vendor = 'Elo TouchSystems' (string)
info.product = 'EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface' (string)
input.product = 'EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface' (string)Create a configuration file to match your device:

Ubuntu 10.04:

sudo nano /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/69-evtouch.conf

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Elo class"
MatchProduct "Elo TouchSystems"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evtouch"
Option "minX" "530"
Option "minY" "570"
Option "maxX" "3500"
Option "maxY" "3500"
EndSection

That could be two unrelated issues... how did you plug the touch screen in?

I would be concerned that you didn't get info from lshal | grep Elo...

Both usb and serial cables are connected, if that is what you mean.

Yes, I think you only use one or the other. I'm using the USB cable on mine.

/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/69-evtouch.conf
and make sure your in usr/lib

Mine is an Elo ET1515L-8CWC-1-GY-G part #E700813. Some other versions of the 1515L will not work on Ubuntu or I could not get them to work.
