Add support for TouchPack family touchscreens (Clevo TN120 series tablets / ASUS eeeTOP and other devices)

[Mirsal Ennaime]

These devices work with evtouch, they just need HAL fdi files to be properly recognized

Impact of the bug: the touch screen of at least the eeetop ET1602 does not work correctly: the pointer does not move.

The bug has been addressed in the same way in the development branch: modifying the 50-touchpack.fdi file to match the info.capabilities.

TEST CASE: on a Eeetop ET1602, the pointer just don't move when you touch the touchscreen. After installing the patched version, it works again.

Potential regression: other touchscreen recognized as "HID TOUCH HID Touch Panel" could stop working. To be honest, I don't know what other touchscreen have this id

[Mirsal Ennaime (mirsal-ennaime)]

I have uploaded a package with the required fdi file (as well as a patched udev rules file) to my ppa, here: https://launchpad.net/~mirsal-ennaime/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/677269/+listing-archive-extra

Hi mirsal-ennaime,

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.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

[Mirsal Ennaime (mirsal-ennaime)]

Well... The PPA I linked to in my first comment contains a patched and working evtouch X11 driver package, you can take the new hal fdi file from there.

I can attach what you require, if you really want unnecessary duplication of effort.

Please confirm that you need these.

My computer recognizes clicks on the touch screen, but no mouse movement.

Also when I run the calibrate program I get a message saying that I don't have a compatible device.

okay, I found out what's wrong I'll fix that asap

[Mirsal Ennaime (mirsal-ennaime)]

Actually I'l need the full output of lshal, you should have a device which 'info.udi' property is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1bfd_1688_noserial_if0_logicaldev_input'

[Noah Lively (noahlively)]

Mirsal,

I will get this to you first thing in the morning. My touch screen computer
is in my office.

I am in California and it is 9PM currently. I should be able to send you
the output in 12 hours or less.

I would also like to say that I appreciate the time you have invested in
writing this driver. If there is anything I can do to help you (other than
sending the output), please let me know.

Thanks,
Noah Lively

ok got it fixing it

[Mirsal Ennaime (mirsal-ennaime)]

The package should start building soon on my ppa, try it in a moment and if it works I'll post a debdiff for inclusion in ubuntu

[Mirsal Ennaime (mirsal-ennaime)]

Here is a debdiff to an updated version that fixes the problem:

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Reopening the bug report so that the bug report can be sponsored

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

taking for sponsorship. Next time you want a MOTU to sponsor your debdiff, you should do the following:
- Mark the bug report as confirmed (new works also)
- Subscribe Ubuntu Sponsors for Universe

This way, your debdiff will have the attention it deserve :-)

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Uploaded. Thanks for your contribution! :-) I just add the bug report close to tha changelog.

Thanks again,

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Hi,
I'd like to see this bug also fixed in karmic.
I've installed the lucid package in my son's eeetop and it's working fine for the moment.

This is a regression from jaunty, as the touch screen was working fine.

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Mirsal Ennaime (mirsal-ennaime)]

Hi Fabrice :)

Thanks for the sponsorship.
Interestingly, the debdiff can be applied to the karmic package as well

Regards,
Mirsal

[John Dong (jdong)]

MOTU-SRU ACK on the debdiff's patch contents; Please version it correctly and adjust the description of the bug with test case, etc (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure)

[Mirsal Ennaime (mirsal-ennaime)]

Delivered :)

[Mirsal Ennaime (mirsal-ennaime)]

About the potential regression: there is virtually no way this can happen as "input" is a substring of "input.touchpad" (ie: all devices that were previously matched by the hal policy will still be after this patch is applied)

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Thanks Mirsal!

I forgot to say that I adapted and uploaded the debdiff on the 17th. It's sitting in the queue, waiting for approval :-)

Thanks again,

Fabrice

[Mirsal Ennaime (mirsal-ennaime)]

oh, ok :)

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted xf86-input-evtouch into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hi Martin,

The SRU package in -proposed worked for me. I didn't see any regression, but I didn't really search for any.
