Hello,
i have bought the above Touchscreen and i try to use it under LinuxCNC with gmoccapy... but of course, it did not run under Linux...

I start with a fresh linuxcnc-2.7-wheezy.iso installation.

than install USB utilities.
Code:
lsusb
Code:
mill@CNCMill:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 005: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f3:249f Elan Microelectronics Corp. Bus 004 Device 002: ID 413c:2003 Dell Computer Corp. Keyboard Bus 004 Device 004: ID 1c4f:0003 SiGma Micro HID controller Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub mill@CNCMill:~$

OK Display is found there with Elan Microelectronics. I have checked it with disconnecting the Display

Ok then check the X11 Support
Code:
xinput
nothing..
Code:
mill@CNCMill:~$ xinput ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SIGMACHIP Usb Mouse id=9 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell Dell USB Keyboard id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] mill@CNCMill:~$

You might have more luck with this question on more generically Linux forums.
(we know a lot about LinuxCNC here, but we are not, in the main, computer experts).

Though it might be a bad sign that this thread comes 5th in Google when searching for VT168 Linux

Wheezy is a pretty old OS now. I'm not saying its going to fix it but I found that hardware that did not work with Wheezy just worked on Linux Mint without installing anything. Maybe try the stretch ISO install

Hello,
i testet the Monitor on an old Laptop witch Linux Lite and every think works fine with a good touch feeling out of the box.

now i download this *.iso.
linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-i386.iso

this need a bit time, but it is possible to boot a live system from USB to test the Touchscreen?

I'm struggling to get a touchscreen to function with linuxcnc also. It's an elo touchscreen EL1519l, I'm runing Debian Wheezy.

if i run lsusb from terminal I can see the device listed device003 elo TouchSystems

it doesn't show in xinput though.

the_muck what was your solution in the end? did you install the mint distro, was that what got you up and running?

Cheers,

Steve
