I found this
karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2013/01/17/ho...it-working-in-linux/

Link to manufacturers driver
www.eeti.com/drivers_Linux.html

Maybe this might be of some help

Hi Tino

Things changed for me after:

I deinstalled libinput and installed evdev system. And xinput-calibrator calibrator.
All as root.

Tried to install EETI drivers.
Get this message from setup.sh

Code:

echo "(W) Found a non-HID compliant touch controller."
            echo "(W) This driver doesn't support non-HID touch controller."
			echo "(W) Please update touch driver."
            RemoveDriver

So obviously the USB adapter is not HID compliant = It seems Eeti is not the way to go here

What does lsusb show for the touchscreen.
And sudo dmesg | grep touch

In the kernel config in the /boot directory (It should be named config-[name of current kernel]) can you find a line such as:
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_USB_EGALAX=y
or
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_USB_EGALAX=m
or
# CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_USB_EGALAX is not set

These lines should be the same, but the main part is EGALAX is what we are looking for.

The page I linked to:
karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2013/01/17/ho...it-working-in-linux/

Mentions something about a patched xf86-input-evtouch driver and
building the calibrator tool as per link below (I don't know if you have built this or not).
www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator/

I'm kind of winging it and trying no to point you in the wrong direction as I haven't purchased my touchscreen overlay yet, but these would be the steps I'd be investigating. So I apologise for any troubles or wrong directions.

Installed xinput_calibrator deb package from www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator/

The funny thing it works (loose on thew table) OK with both touch-foils on my laptop that is after calibration touch and cursor is there where it should be. But this is not the PC I will run these on.

I have just received a download link from manufacturer with drivers and will try this hopefully later today.
Just now I am not feeling so well

So my friend, there is nothing to apologise as we all try to help as good as we can.

Unfortunately I get nowhere with the new drivers, looks like I have no SU as I get error with no access to folders

Something is wrong as the script will no all the way - looks like xmkmf is missing

This is stressful not to get anything to work as regards touch.

I can fix the download link from the chinese factory if needed.

Any hints on what to try next?
