How to install Elo touchscreen driver on Red Hat 6.2? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Solution:
I. Make sure COM 4 (IRQ 5) is available.
Type command " setserial -g /dev/ttyS3 " to check if COM 4 I/O address,
and IRQ settings are correct. If they are not you've to change them to 2e8,
and IRQ5.
To add " setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 5 " to the file " /etc/rc.d/#rc.local#
", it will allow the settings take effect after system booting; otherwise,
you've to modify the settings every
time.
II. ELo Touchscreen Driver Installation
1. Install Linux. Verify the XFree86 X-Windows manager is operating to your
satisfaction.
2. Verify the following Elo touchscreen driver file exists:
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/xf86Elo.so
3. Edit the following XFree86 X-Windows configuration file:
/etc/X11/XF86Config
Make the following changes:
1. Verify the Files section contains the following path:
*** Files Section ***
Section "Files"
.
.
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
.
EndSection
Note: This path is generally the default path of the system, so the
change may not be necessary. It is also possible to write the full path
directly in the Load command in
the Module section.
2. Enable the Module section:
*** Module Section ***
Section "Module"
Load "xf86Elo.so"
EndSection
Note: It is also possible to write the full path for xf86Elo.so.
3. Enable the XInput section:
*** Xinput Section ***
Section "Xinput"
SubSection "Elographics"
Port "/dev/ttyS3"
DeviceName "Elo"
MinimumXPosition 300
MaximumXPosition 3700
MinimumYPosition 300
MaximumYPosition 3700
UntouchDelay 10
ReportDelay 10
EndSubSection
EndSection
Note: A standard XF86Config file may not contain this section Xinput. Hence you
may need to create it! This section can be safely placed after the Pointer
sect
