evtouch doesn't work with eee top touch screen

[Jeppester]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evtouch

This bug occurs in the jaunty jackalope beta (9.04).

In Ubuntu 8.10, it's possible to make the touch screen on an "eee top 1602" working reasonable using the xserver-xorg-input-evtouch module using the following configuration:

The touchscreen-related-parts of "/etc/X11/xorg.conf":

Section "ServerLayout"
  InputDevice "Touch0"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "Touch0"
  Driver "evtouch"
  Option "device" "/dev/input/evtouch"
  Option "MinX" "1"
  Option "MinY" "1"
  Option "MaxX" "4096"
  Option "MaxY" "4096"
  Option "ReportingMode" "Raw"
  Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
  Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
  Option "SendCoreEvents" "on"
  Option "MoveLimit" "0"
EndSection

And the following "/etc/udev/rules.d/69-touchscreen.rules" (which eases pointing out the right device in the xorg-configuration):

KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1bfd", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1688", SYMLINK+="input/evtouch"

However, in 9.04 beta, when using the exact same settings, the screen only detects a touch at the "MaxX" and "MaxY"-values (I've experimented with different values), no matter where it is touched, making the touch screen completely useless.

The xserver-xorg-input-evtouch package versions used:
In 8.10: "0.8.7-4build1"
In 9.04 Beta: "0.8.8-0ubuntu2"

Hi jeppester,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

I've just installed the 9.04 beta in order to add the missing xorg.log and lspci. Fortunately, the bug seems not to occur using the latest version of the evtouch package (0.8.8-0ubuntu3).

If the bug still doesn't occur when I've updated my system, I'll consider this bug fixed.

[Jeppester (jeppester1)]

I've now finished updating my system. The touch screen still works correctly, so I consider this bug as fixed.

The bug isn't present anymore in xserver-xorg-input-evtouch version "0.8.8-0ubuntu3".
